[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Microsoft Technical Support

I wish Microsoft Technical Support was told what was being shipped.

One of my colleagues here called them up this afternoon because it
APPEARS that Codeview 3.0 disables all interrupts on the serial
port interrupt controller.  After 20 or so minutes of discussion,
he was informed that Codeview 3.0 is only a beta-release product,
and Technical Support couldn't help him with it.

Codeview 3.0 is what is being shipped with Microsoft C 6.0.  It is
NOT beta-release.

Does anyone know if our suspicions about disabling the interrupts
are correct?

I dunno --- this sounds to me like confirmation of some widely held
beliefs about beta-testing versus the shipping of version numbers that
end in `.0'.  I detect three statements which are not mutually exclusive
even though they may seem inconsistent:  "CV 3.0 is being shipped",
"CV 3.0 is beta-release", and "Technical Support can't help with it".
