That is absolute true. But the bugs/problems in AS 1.7 are so obvious, i
think QA should have see them. These problems could be easily found by
running one single automated test cycle.

That is probably because the AS betas are only available to ADC members.
Yes, i know, it's free to sign up but you have to sign up. It would be
probably more effective to post a link to betas right here on the list for
free & easy download/handling. Include an address where people should report
to and there you go. I know there is bugreporter, but i also know that
people sense this as a barrier. It much easier to send an email to
somewhere.

Yes, please do it.
