Testers - your feedback.

[Jack Fromm]

Elfy, my thoughts inline below.  I sat out in the sun but only got 
sunburned on my bald spot---no inspiration, unfortunately. :(

Sounds about right to me.

Yeah, I like it and use it in my day job too.

I think for the most part they've been tweaked pretty well and cover 
most of what needs to be tested without going overboard.  The only 
suggestion I would have for improvement would be a minor one about the 
formatting.  There doesn't appear to be a standardized convention for 
differentiating between menu choices, buttons and check boxes and 
keyboard input required from the tester, etc.  Maybe the xml format is 
too limited for making things better, but it can be hard to follow some 
of the testcases at a glance.

No, I think you've got it covered.

I think you can stick with just the milestones.  Just speaking for 
myself, but I tend to do fairly regular installs of the dailies anyway 
for various reasons and any time I happen to do one, I'll report the 
results.
