I'm sorry .. will you buy these a new laptop? Ifso, then the proccess is working.

Try advertising: there is a 50% chance that this will destroy your hardware.
How many testers will you have got left? ZERO.

THE IMPLIED RISK OF TESTING ALPHA SOFTWARE IS DATA CORRUPTION.

What's next? THe machiene blows up and kills people?
Would that be a reason to remove a machiene-destroying cd-image?

YES, its' not Ubuntu's fault .. the alpha is shipped. The procces is working, but the procces is not done until somebody QUICKLY removes the image.

No tester signed up for this; and I for sure will not ever put an alpha disc into one of my machienes. I'll even wait a couple of months after the release.

It's not that this happened. It's that afterwards official developers consider loosing half the hardware of every volunteers that test a sane and good move. Just part of the proccess.

This discussion SHOULD NOT BE MOVED TO A MAILING, until the CD IMAGE IS GONE.

I know this is not the UBUNTU code of conduct. But so is WILLFULLY DAMAGE PEOPLE"S PROPERTY.

You know of the BUG, REMOVE THE IMAGE.
