I didn't know that the 7.2 release as found in Walmart and other
retail stores is a beta.  How did you know this information and I did
not?

7.2 as found in Walmart is *not* a beta version.  It was not based on
7.2beta1, beta2, nor beta3.  It was based on a *release candidate*
7.which is far different from a *beta*.

We are not punishing anyone.  How do you see us providing a full final
version of 7.2 as punishment?
