I'm not an engineer. I'm a college dropout Corporate VP and industry analyst. I think engineers call me "Management".
Oh, and True story. When Windows Server 2003 was in beta I took $150k in Angel and my team built a plugin that let you do Pay Per View, Pay Per Minute, and Subscription Media Delivery of all the Microsoft Formats, plus Quicktime, MP4 , and h.264 trasport streams. All the foundation you needed to build an IPTV Product. Worked in RC1. In RTM they disabled the plugin Hooks, and killed our product. That Angel would have done well to think Beta = Deal Breaker.

All the folks here are engineers. It is easy to challenge status quo and throw out smart questions. Should you find yourself responsible for investing millions of other people's money your perspective changes drastically. We cannot relate to that mindset period. In that mindset, driven purely by business considerations and risk minimization, Beta label is a deal breaker. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
