Did anybody at Microsoft give Windows Vista to regular users to test before launching

The control panel changed in Vista. Display, for example, disappeared as an icon. So I changed to what is called 'Classic View'. Except that classic is new too, and does not include a Display icon either. But fear not, it now has a search feature.  This might mislead you into thinking that if you search for 'display', you'd find the window labeled 'display settings'. Think again. It yields no result. The good news is that for the first time in my life, Microsoft Help actually helped, and included a link to the window, which is still called Display settings but simply not displayed in either control panel. Windows desperately needs to incorporate Web 2.0 features --they are wasting the fact that their software is used by millions of people.
