Which is why God invented testing, no? ;-)

I've often spoken against the "we must test everything" mentality here, but
given the very unique nature of the problem and, more importantly, the
solution offered, this is as good a time as any to test it rigorously.

One crucial factor that's truly unprecedented here is the fact that an
operating system, new hardware, new base-line apps, new distribution system
and a slew of other factors are being introduced *simultaneously* to an
unknown userbase. By an organization that has never done this before. I
can't really see how *any* argument against "testing before shipping in
volume" could possibly pass the "You kiddin' me?" test. :-)
