Some other people were not as lucky. The entry barrier to Ubuntu Linux has gone
so low that some people whose comprehension of 'alpha' seems to be poor. They
review it as though it's a final product, so the alphas should not be made
easy to download.
I can never understand what people run test version of Windows
Vista/Server/whatever. They assist a world abuser, so I get they get freebies
in return (some get trips to Redmond for various things, some get shiny
laptops).
