    Acquiring a leaked OS months/years before final release is like buying an incomplete car's engine ... ooops, forgot to put in proper transmission controls to gear down the car so that it can respond to the brakes and stop

    The thing with buying or acquiring Microsoft Operating Systems before the release come down to one single factor, "They got it". Where some person would want to use it as a production OS, others woudl use it as a point of reference to what is to come or how to crack the security.

    Liked how you put it Chris... ;D ;D

    But seriously I don't see why I would want a OS that is years from being relaesed, especially one from Microsoft..
