How software is made

The goal is to ship a great product with the bugs fixed, providing a great experience to our customers, and that is what we intend to do with Windows Home Server.

We really value user feedback, which is why we’re being very transparent and encouraging this feedback through the beta program. This is what allows us to fix any issues that may occur early on before the development of the final product.

To be clear, this is a beta. We have bugs and we’re fixing them every day. In fact, we closed over 100 yesterday. Bugs are part of the process and being informed on them is what allows us to make great software.

I have been in the software business for more years than I care to admit, and bugs are all part of the process. Thanks to the community for all of the great testing and the great comments on the blog.
