The problem isn't that P6 is a bad piece of software, it's Curious Labs (and eFrontier?) that's the problem. This is the second time they've done things "on the cheap" by getting the users to test their software for them - after it's been released. Any company that develops software should have a separate Quality Assurance group that does proper unit testing on the software and the distribution media contents prior to any release (this goes for service packs too!). I'm a developer and that's the only way to make the client happy. No matter how many pretty features you give the user, it doesn't mean anything if they can't use them (or they're just plain not on the CD)! Granted, a good number of people here aren't having problems, but there seem to be sufficient numbers to indicate CL dropped the ball. This isn't as bad as it was with P5's release (I had to wait for 2 service releases before I could even run the darn thing!), but this memory issue and many others should have been caught before releasing it. I have no doubt CL will eventually fix the problems, but as for why they released it when they did? Probably goes back to rule #1 of business logic: "If it makes sense, don't do it."
