If you think they're going to launch it irrespective of any result of the last beta that's kind of strange.

they're bugs. everygame has bugs at launch, and it looks like they've fixed most of the ones we complained about. there will be bugs at launch. its inevitable, they're not going to delay the game.
Being unable to connect to the server is not a bug.
and that has been largely fixed.
remember the 7th of February beta? 20+ minute load screens, queues of up to an hour, almost impossible to get in to cyrodiil, and constant lag everywhere. and that was only with 2 million people max.
now lets compare that to the last beta, no load screens longer than 1 minute, no queues, and you could get into cyrodiil fine the entire time, albeit with a little lag at peak times. and this was with roughly 4 million players.
occasional lag is no reason to delay a game, it will probably go away for the most part once they open separate servers up anyway.
It's much wiser to take vacations a week or two after launch when servers are more stable.
Launches are always full of emergency downtimes / reboots / updates.
Breaking news, Zenimax HQ struck with basketball sized meteor fragment. offices closed, launch day delayed until APR 30th.
I had no issues in the 7th Feb, part from a few bugs in quests and 1 minute loading screen.
The last beta I could barely connect for longer than a few minutes before getting kicked. Lag and being disconnected are not the same thing.
I hope it has been fixed, I will wait and try the next beta before wholeheartedly believing that there will be no disconnect issues.
...this just reminds me of when I went to see the midnight premier of The Phantom Menace (ignoring what a mistake that was).
Live in a smallish tech-heavy town... sitting in our seats waiting for the show to start, my friends and I were looking around the room at other people we knew and/or recognized there. Then it dawned on us... if a bomb went off in the room right then, what local services would be without their primary technical support and administration staff?
The list we ended up with included all local television and radio stations, internet providers, cable provider, cellular and phone providers, and the nearby nuclear power plant.
...I wonder how many of those people are eagerly awaiting ESO's release? I know of at least a few...
