That strategy isn't to help the end use, though it may because they might actually be happy seeing a piece of software that does something, rather than a bunch of promises for a piece of future software that does everything.

That strategy is to help the development process. The sooner you get a product in the customer's hands, the sooner you get real world feedback on it and the sooner the bugs get found. There is no bug testing force like 1,000 end users.

This is the premise of ship early, ship often. As far as I am concerned, Nokia (The Meego team of it) hasn't shipped anything because there hasn't been anything that remotely works well enough that a non developer user can even start to play with.

Contrast this with the live and RCs that Fedora ships.
