Feature Freeze, Feature Complete, Alpha, Beta, Release Candidate, Gold, Release To Manufacturing...
I've worked at a few software companies and none of them have used these terms quite the same way.

- OrsenPike 13y agoSorry but I don't really see the link between that article and Microsoft's inconsistent use of the term RTM. They can still move to a rapid release cycle and have a solid RTM. Chrome and Firefox manage to do it every 6 weeks.
