<<But, no, they [Microsoft] use hidden and undocumented code to help out their in-house apps, and give them access to pre-release OS information, which is wrong. >> First charge: Absolutely, not true, David. And I am serious. App developers at Microsoft use the same documentation that outside developers use. No special edition of APIs. And they (or any developer for that matter) would be very stupid to use undocumented code. Second charge: pre-release OS info is available to outside beta testers also. Because of distribution logistics, Microsofties have more frequent updates (and encounter problems sooner, and waste time even more) and external testers need to wait for less frequent cd releases. But Microsoft developers don't have exclusive access to pre-release OS.
