I can't see this going anywhere great, fast.

If it's like the firefox beta updates it'll just piss people off big time.

I've got the beta of firefox and it pisses me off with the amount of updates they had 3 last week is it's 15.3 or something now.

It's like they are just trying to have the highest version number almost every update is a major version, no add-on makers could ever expect to keep up with the amount of beta releases of the web browser so I don't know how the OS will fair.

Android and iOS suck, but they do the job for most people.
