So here is a question for everyone, When you beta test software such as IE8 or Firefox 3.5, do you have a special machine to load them on, how long to you test them for, and what do you feel the best practices are? I have been remiss in doing a lot of beta testing…
Well then now. I have seen all the pushing and prodding about how “IE8 is now available! Download it now!” and it got me to thinking, should you really be downloading it now? Is it that important to move to it right this exact moment, while people are still writing reviews of it? What advantage…
It is interesting watching how different companies look at patches, and security holes. It is more interesting to see one giant seem to fail at prompt patching for a Zero-Day exploit, while another gives a basic time frame and is pretty much right on as far as when the fix will be out. Of Course…
