While testing Processors the Digit Test Centers use latest games and benchmark softwares to count the performance!


Well they miss something,According to me NORTON'S only use can b to test ur p.c speed .
P.cs speed jst reduces by half after reducing this junk!!

No big companies wanna put money on paid testers - so they try to do it as free as possible. Forsure they would have programmers and staff on them working overtime. But ppl download these betas for the sheer excitement and they found out the bug and report or whatever, that makes it very easy for more updates. Specially after finding one bug and fixing it - there might be another problem, when the 1st bug is fixed. Free downloads of these beta programs to use by many people, help cut the development costs and time.

Well, its like
2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and now they have figured it out that they havent made it as heavy as needed yet, thus the 360, as heavy as a 360 tonned 360 degreed sphere. :)
