Wow, e-on dropped the ball big time. It is ironic because you think e-on would have all their ducks lined in a row before they open a new web site and go to the Siggraph show. Instead well we know the rest... I stopped using vue too, but I have hopes I may begin again. I too am looking for alternate more dependable software from a company that treats its customes with respect. I'm sick of being called naive or impatient from people who don't know me from atom.
In hindsight I should have bought a highend professional program because the money, time, and frustration I waste with e-on has far surpassed it. Sometimes you really get what you pay for.
