Pb5 is excellent since I ditched pb1

No lag or in car stereo temp loss of Bluetooth Apple Music.

Thankfully pb1 almost drove me to a windows laptop purchase and Android tablet

Why would a beta 1 almost drive you to switching platforms? You do know installing beta is 100% voluntary right?

Those kind of comments "this beta sucks I'm so mad it isn't as good as released software!" are hilarious.

Hi

I never use language such as 'sucks'.
My opinion is valid as pb1 in effect had a negative impact on my user experience using Apple music via bluetooth car stereo.

Not to mention the lag via iPhone 6 -though was useable.

pb5 does not have these 'teething problems' thankfully.

I've been running beta software releases Windows/Playstation/Cable broadband/Sat broadband/digi boxes/Tivo's for years.

There was me thinking I could post what I found when using pb 1
1st beta where I have 'downgraded' to 9.3x

Is what I enjoy about tech forums is users experience which more often than not are fairly accurate and are often similar 'symptoms' )

I would hope that beta software wouldn't make you want to switch laptops or switch to Android. It's a beta, it's not meant to be used by the public. It's supposed to have bugs.

Well, technically speaking, since the whole introduction of the "public beta" program, there is a public aspect to usage of betas. That said, it's still beta nonetheless.
