In fairness to the MS folks who were also in the Beta trenches, there were a
lot of things that the teams were hoping to fix, but, they just ran out of
time. There came a point where they had to lock the code to prepare for
RTM. Many fought just as hard as the BT's on some issues, however, they
were also answering to higher ups. I think we will see some of these things
corrected in the SP1, as you say, they are the type of things that can be
corrected without a lot of in-depth code changes. Until then, we will
either have to work with it, around it, or find some way to get by until the
SP1. Not exactly the most favorable choice, but, for now, the only ones we
may have.
