Tim, A lot of people seem to have missed this message which was posted in the Members Only forum by SKondris on the 25th of November: "Due to the shortened week and a couple of issues that we'd like to get fixed in DAZ|Studio before we release it to you all, we're going to need to hold off on the release until next week, I'm afraid. We are sorry that this means we'll not be able to hold true on delivering DAZ|Studio to the Platinum Club in November, as was stated earlier, however, it will be delivered to you prior to being released to the general public. This delay will allow us to offer you a better program and for DAZ to be around once you do receive it (we do not wish to release it right before the weekend either ). Though it will be just an alpha release next week, and is still very far from perfect or even ready for the general public, we feel that by next week you will be able to have an enjoyable experience with it as you help us test out DAZ|Studio further and push it into the realm of 'beta'."
