? good....? pioneering..?

Anyone with a valid ML license can get this (time-bombed) prerelease "not to
be installed on production machines"; for me it was a nice solution to be
able to work at home (I've had ankle surgery recently) with OO ML code made
by a colleague. OO is still a showstopper for Octave.
I do hope that Octave will also have classdef some day - not that I'm very
fond of it but this ML incompatibility simply hit me (and OO/classdef proved
a godsend for this particular application).

Anyway I can say that I don't quite like ML's new interface but you'd
already guess that. 
Oh and ML2012b p.r. got hung on my PC's integrated graphics card that turned
out to be wonky, while Octave had no problems at all. So at least that's 1-1
for Octave :-)
