Who cares?
I havent found a bug yet, and it feels very solid.
Any changes they need to make would most likely be things you just cant account for untill live.

raynes, either you think we're lying and should say so out loud, so we can start ignoring you, or you're a complete idiot.
btw, live != beta

And so what if they did? Alpha software doesn't have to be unstable / unfinished.
I was accepted as part of the second wave of alpha-testers (from mid-August). I personally would say that the alpha that I was using, at that time, looked pretty stable to me and maybe should have been labelled a closed-beta instead. I imagine that the alpha label was because they were still undertaking tests and occasionally things wouldn't be running. We also had a lot more freedom to add things which wouldn't be available to all when the ring was opened (no ring points etc.). I imagine that the first wave of testers had a much tougher time of things
Alpha and beta labels are all pretty relative anyway. If the labelling of software was done properly, it should go from alpha to omega
