I am not agreeing or disagreeing with your statement. Lost time and productivity is always disappointing, you have my sympathy.

I think the problem in development has always been when to release software from development to production. As long as they call it an Alpha or a Beta many of the boards will not, should not, run the software in production: Therefore the amount of bugs that can be reported is directly limited by the testing pool. I believe the outcome was expected. I guess they could have prolonged the release and hoped that the testing pool increased and reported more variances with the code, but I doubt there would have been significant gains.

I hope I shed some light on the problems developers face.
