Interesting features. Yet, we are still not addressing the core issues as identified above. It appears, the beta testing is being done without a plan, rational or some sense of direction (where are we going with all of this). If I switch gears for a minute, I can't figure out how the money plays a role in this situation. I would suspect that careful attention to the key features of a world class program would ensure future revenue streams for RIT Labs. Given our current direction, I cannot see how this path will results in a rock solid program or consistent revenue streams. I am concerned at some point, this process is not going to be financially viable for RIT labs and they will abandon the product. I enjoy testing the Bat. I can test forever. However, unless some careful focus is brought to bear on the future direction of the BAT, my fear is the user community will only be those with an interest and not the main stream user which pays the bills.
