They really did that? It does make sense, though. QA teams cost a lot of money, and don't produce anything at all. They're a cost center. The only thing they do is keep your quality up so that customers don't get mad and leave. MS doesn't have to worry about that. People weren't buying WinPhone anyway, and no one's going to abandon Windows (PC OS) because of bugginess. So using the users as beta-testers makes perfect sense for them. If you don't like it, then don't buy MS products.
