I don't think it is anything like that, Jim. The fix list was clearly generated from MSFTs internal bug tracking program. Any bugs that were discovered and fixed without being entered into the bug tracking system is not in the list. This happens all the time, I'm sure.

My point was that I don't think published bug fix lists are either comprehensive, or beneficial to the health of the product.

I know that we - as users - want this information to save US work in re-testing but we don't have a right to this information. AND THIS BETA PRODUCT NEEDS TESTING.

So ignore the bug fix list. Test your code. Verify, brother!

Peace,
- Colin
