I don't know what change is needed, but I do know there needs to be a commitment to putting out releases that you can pop in the tray and have work without gigabyte updates required in the first 30 days.
Well.... one problem (as I see it) is that the number of testers on the Alpha and Beta runs is... very low. Once the final release comes out, the wider audience thinks that they can now install... they do, and then QA problems start to show up... stuff that was missed in the Factory cycle. I'm guilty of this myself. I will download only some of the Alphas (Milestones) along the way... I will usually install them in VirtualBox... I will not install them on the "bare metal" on my main machine. I can't afford to have the down time.... and I don't have a couple spare machines laying about. VBox is great, but it only goes so far with the real QA testing. No idea what the right answer is here... this is just an observation.
