Except that many experts believe that Microsoft changed the meaning of
"release candidate" to the meaning of "beta".
And except that Microsoft is a massive corporate that ought to have
quality well under control, and XFce is a fairly small open-source team
that yet manages to put out a decent, well-document product with support
for a variety of languages.

WinFS .... With most of our effort now working towards productizing mature
aspects of the WinFS project into SQL and ADO.NET, we do not need to deliver
a separate WinFS offering. -- Quentin Clark on the WinFS Team Blog
