In the end we'll have to stop with all this industrial spying and intellectual property things.
Let's just go OpenHardware by default, share our creations and then share the market strategy.
This way any insight from any person can be used by anyone, doesn't it sound nice?
Did you even read me? I said that I'm gonna get the "final" experience at the same time of the users. I know the beta is very similar, but it's not quite exact... And what if I'm developing an RSS feed and IE7 introduces a bug in the RSS Reader I have to account for?, or the tabs behavior (new window/new tab)?, end-user terminology?, step-by-step guides?, etc... do you expect all sites to upgrade all that in just a couple of months of betas? Are you a developer? Do you work with designers? It's not that fast...
And the beta is wasn't public until a few days ago with beta 3, the other betas were private and then leaked. I currently have IE7 Beta 3, installed.
[rant class="mildly_offtopic"] It's getting harder and harder to test in all these platforms. The other day someone joked about WORE for java, saying WODE: "Write Once, Debug Everywhere"... and with XHTML/CSS + JS is just the same... I still have to make sure my sites work right in IE 5 (and IE 4 for one client)... those browsers are more than 10 years old and don't have anything compared to a standard support for all the features I'm using. [/rant]
If the final is anything like the betas, it would be in around 13megs. Which will make it possible to update even for the dial-up users (in several chunks, at least).
I'm really afraid of all the users that will instantly start seeing "broken" pages. I already started testing on IE7 betas, but I'm not giving it much relevance since it's a beta... but now I know I'll have IE7 final at the same time that the all the users, I'm really scared. Well... I hope this turns out in bad publicity for Microsoft and not for thousands of sites and webmasters.

What you're looking for is already done. The extension "MR Tech Local Install" does that among other things.
When you install a new extension, and it's for an older version, it warns you and lets you bypass the warning.
The problem is not that US are not helpful... that's why they had so much power, 'cos they helped nations. The issue is that US' help comes with great cost, with dependency issues, if not, with militar strikes, derrocations, and every single kind of interferrence with the foreign peoples will and government.
CIA fomenting corruption, sedition and generally "lobbying" for US' companies/initiatives to be accepted in those countries you say the US "help".
Now you know what we hate US for.

There's no place for nationalism in science.
This scientists, as do all, are elaborating over previous research, I think there's no place for nationalism in science (or in any other area, but especially in science, where knowledege should be public property. I mean, that's the spirit of the Open Source movement, and we don't think of open source production as a nation-related issue.
To back my words there is another report form 2003 published in slashdot a couple of months ago:
Stem Cells in the Heart?
It says
in 2003, researchers at Piero Anversa's laboratory at New York Medical College in Valhalla, New York, US, discovered stem cells in the hearts of mice, and subsequently humans. However, they still did not know whether these stem cells actually resided in the heart or had merely migrated there from another tissue, such as bone marrow."
I agree with you, and I digagree with the first reply, that stated the US should get involved.
I have to problem with the US *CITIZENS* getting involved, or any from other country for that matter. But a governmet judging a whole country and it's people and going to war for matters that don't involve it's own citizens, makes no sense to me.
We all agree that Irak (well, all the middle-east) is about Oil... it's, therefore, an Economical war, seeking economical expansion for some companies in the US or some other countries. It's not a political war. You're proposing a political war (or action) against china, and that's not going to happen, not in this world, and I agree with that. Economical wars I also disagree with, but that is offtopic.
But they are saying that probable several milenia ago, it was this hot too. So the problem is not that the world is hotter than ever, it's if we are the cause.
Ok, we're hot. But what caused the other warmings? There weren't AMD beowolf clusters back then, only the sun and some chemical reactions here and there... if that was enough then, it should be enough now... but there's the humans, the curiosity, and the blame, and the fear that if this keeps up, there will be no world left, so the first thought is that if we're doing something that warms it up, we should stop.
But I raise other issue: If the earth is warming on it's own, and it's about to kill us all... should we intervein?
I also found a "new", "innovative" feature: OFFLINE MESSAGES!
Oh! Finally... I mean, really, who whould have think of that?
ICQ had it in 1997... Microsoft is just a decade later, as always.

I googled techdirt, and I searched their blog, and there's nothing about google and feedburner, take a look:
http://www.techdirt.com/search.php?q=feedburner
So I'm betting scuttlemonkey typo'ed it, and it's actualy techcrunch, as the link says.
Please correct the summary.
