One other thing

I know that you get thousands of emails asking this, but could you give me a hint as to how far along the beta is, im not asking for a release date. I just want to know how its coming along.

Check the beta message-board

i tried to search this but didn't find anything besides "i am not sure when the release will be" can someone tell me where to find it?

It's a beta. To get it, you must become a beta-tester.
And I can't give you a status-update or a release-date.
Try to check smiff's page, there's a list of know issues, and which ones are fixed.
