- How do you define beta? (No, I don't want your answer!) We had three
- major beta pre-releases for Windows 3.1, and we'll clearly have more
- than one beta release for Windows NT 3.1 - the first pre-release did
- not have even close to complete functionality, the next "beta" release
- had near complete functinality, and the next beta should be more
- complete, faster, smaller and more compatible - hopefully the retail
- release will improve upon the final beta -and subsequent versions
- of Windows NT should improve upon the first! (3.1)
