Objectives:

• smoketest - all 3 major platforms, and as many locales as possible
• BFT - at least one platform (BFT is divided into pieces based on tester's last name to reduce time required of each person -- so all tests get done, but not necessarily all of a test by one person).

• Areas Covered (en-US):
  • Spotchecks
  • Smoketests
  • BFTs
  • L10n, spotcheck all shipping locales
• Areas Not Covered:
  • FFTs
  • Updates

Previous release (for reference purposes): Alpha 3 smoketested all 3 major platforms, full coverage of windows BFT, all shipping locales were spot checked
