Welcome to the wild wonderful world of alpha/beta testing. Most would
consider the current 8OS release to be a beta version, however, if
you're missing an important app, you might consider it an alpha test.
Basically 8OS is a work in progress with a few loose ends to tie up --
could be days, weeks or perhaps months til everything gets sorted out.

<br>
At least it doesn't crash or lock up a couple times an hour like new
OSs from MS. <br>
