     Well, this certainly did generate more response than I intended. :)
I suppose the comments I would make are: I have great respect for NeXT's
ability to put out a good release, but in anybody's X.0 release, there
are more likely to be problems than the previous OS level. Even if 5%
of the NeXT community Beta tests for 6 months, they still won't get 
the testing coverage that 50% of the community will in 2 months.

     The bugs are out there -- everyone knows that -- everyone expects
it. The issue is are they critical. Before that can be determined
they must be found. Surely everyone remembers some of the serious problems
with 2.0.

     It's simply my opinion that prudence is warranted with respect to
anyone's X.0 release. NeXT's is probably more solid than anyone elses 
X.0 release, but that doesn't imply there are no glaring faults. I
find it best to wait on a major release until it has been out for a while
and people have had a chance to use it for some time.
