Microsoft's Lack of Nightly Builds For IE 154
Ricky writes "Many wonder why Microsoft doesn't offer nightly builds of Internet Explorer — or at least something more frequent than months-to-years. Ars talks with Microsoft's general manager for IE, who says the IE9 development cycle will look much the same as previous versions. Not a great idea."

I like to compare it to taking a shit versus rubbing a quick one off.
Microsoft saves up the feces, and savors it in their intestines for months and years. That lets it get really stinky and, well, shitty. Then, in one big blast, they crap it out all over everybody. That's just their way.
The open source community prefers to rub a quick one off each night. Rub rub rub and the load has been blown.
So it all depends on what you prefer. Would you rather get nightly blasts of jizm in your face, or would you prefer huge, steaming logs every year or so?

The nightlies of Microsoft Bob basically killed all positive hype for the program. I don't want to see Microsoft Bob in nighties! It was bad enough seeing Bill Gates wiggling his ass for the cameras.
Oh, nightlies ...
I'll have to ask Clippy for linux [tri-bit.com] and get back to you on that ...
