I think a few people here are reading too depply into his post, sure he
shouldnt use test versions but I read that as a upgrade on versions, or
maybe I used common sense in this approach which some people around here
forbid.

To me, "support" means that when I ask for advice and tell someone that

Completely unfair comparison. Since when has *any* OS vendor
supported upgrades from *test* release to official releases? Please
name them, and provide pointers to some statistics on how well it worked
in practice.
Microsoft is guilty of a lot, but if you are saying that Windows betas
or release candidates would not allow upgrades to official releases is
something they should be blamed for, then I have to wonder how much
exposure you've had to operating system development. In other words,
just because you had to do something undesirable in the Windows world,
doesn't mean it's a Windows specific occurrence. In this particular
case, it's just the nature of operating system development, FLOSS or
proprietary.
