I don't think so! No Beta anything on my Apple Watch. Something goes wrong, it's now bricked. There's no easy way to fix/recover from that.

As the article points out this beta is not public. It is by invitation only. watchOS has never had public betas.

Maybe this will spur on NVidia drivers for the latest Mac Pro.

From what I’ve read it’s a lot more than drivers. Apple apparently got burned by Nvidia in the past and there’s bad blood on both sides. Also in contention is how Nvidia cards will work with Metal. Since Apple completely controls drivers Nvidia must have its drivers approved by Apple. And therein lies the battle of wills.

Okay, what about iTunes Match? I subscribe and it’s up in September. Will we still need iTunes Match to get our non-iTunes tracks uploaded to our iCloud library?

Apple missed the mark completely on this... completely. They custom designed a Mac Pro for Pixar... what about the rest of us? FFS...

What this should tell you is that you and those like you are irrelevant to Apple. You are not the “pro" they are looking to satisfy. They didn’t miss any mark at all. They nailed it. If you want slots and and a plastic case for $1500 just march over to Frys or Micro Center, pull some parts off the shelves and cobble them together. Apple is after the real pros.

Until Apple increases the amount of key travel on these MacBooks, I will never buy one. Yes, I know this is a subjective issue, but the feel of the keyboard is a really, really important aspect for me when using a laptop. I just refuse to compromise on this matter. And I know I am not alone.  

I’m sure Tim, Craig, and Phil lose sleep at night because of your demands. You’re not alone? Who’s the other guy? Oh, you mean the anonymous, unsubstantiated comments on sites like MacRumors and 9to5Mac? 

At least 40% of the comments on the butterfly keyboard on this site - AppleInsider - have been negative over the past year. That’s about the same percentage on MacRumours and 9to5Mac, so don’t kid yourself that only a small percentage of people really don’t like this keyboard. The negative feedback is even higher on sites like Reddit - probably because they are less strictly moderated and people tend to vent more. My point is, the problem with this keyboard is very real for many people. 

You are only counting comments on some tech blog forums. Comments on these sites are a tiny fraction of the real world and consist of anonymous users who may or may not have an agenda. People such as yourself apparently believe that tech blog comment sections represent the majority of users and are the definitive authority on whether this issue is widespread. They are not. And apparently you are calling Apple a liar when they say that only a small number of keyboards are affected. if you don't believe Apple then you are free to lodge a complaint with the SEC and FTC that Apple is committing fraud. Do you have the proof Apple is lying? Again, you and others are assuming this teeny tiny sample of users on tech blogs represent the world.
