Oh, I'm with you on the Microsoft thing -- they get a lot of totally undeserved slams. And I tend to be a Microsoft supporter.

In any case -- once again: the point isn't that these apps are 'bug free' (which they aren't -- read the message boards): but that these apps aren't generally handling types of data that make anywhere near the demands on the host software that 3D meshes do. Therefore, the other programs aren't as likely to manifest problems from being over-driven. Simply because they aren't dealing with data sources as intensive as those demanded by 3D.

Thus, IMO the.....uh.....'non-comparison' of these apps isn't a valid one.

BTW - some of us never had any real problems with P5, even in its initial release. But that doesn't mean that other people were "just imagining" the very real problems that they experienced. Likewise, I wouldn't disclaim the bug reports of others on MS software -- just because I was fortunate enough that it never happened to me.

The MS software has bugs in it......indeed it does. As does everything else ever created by Man.

We aren't perfect -- so our creations aren't perfect.

BTW - I use XP. Good operating system (although some would debate the point). But I wouldn't dream of calling it "bug free".
