I agree that testing is important (I test as well) and with the suggestion of posting a bug report. The way I read it he was comparing. He said that it worked in 10.04, but not 10.10. That is a comparison of a beta to a final release which is unfair Nowhere did he acknowledge that it is a beta which can mislead users that 10.10 is deficient, hence my comment. I am always on FUD alert.
