First, I know I’m jumping the gun a wee bit. But . . .
Last summer I was one of those impacted by the expiring beta occurring as I was on vacation, away from the internet, but still using a computer! There were lots of complaints then about the switch to a new beta (or final release) occuring so close to the beta deadline.
Now we’re creeping up on the holidays, where I and many others will once again be travelling. I imagine the travel periond begins starting in about 2 weeks from now through about mid-January. Will we be getting a new beta way before Dec 31 (expiration date) or will this be a revisit of the summer past were the beta was released before expiration date (Dec 31) but well past the practical date when many people are on holiday or travelling?
