My perception of the actual, as opposed to nominal, TradeStation 7 testing
and release cycle is as follows:
Whether or not there was anything called a beta test before the current
phase started, this effectively is the beta test. When there are no more
known bugs, or the known bugs are things one can live with or work around,
the software can be considered effectively in initial release and one can
choose to be an early adopter, or can be more prudent and wait to see how
early adopters fare, and use it when things look OK.

One might ask: Who, if anyone, were the beta testers for 7.0 ?
Or is THIS the beta test ?
