I used to be a software developer for many years and I know about testing-terms. If you do such a big upgrade you should have test it to the max (Beta-Testers etc.). Bondware is not a backalley-developer but a grown-up company. Imaging Amazon would do such an "upgrade". They would loose a big amount of money for shure. And Bondware doesn't have to be treated like a sensitive artist. They make business - and IMHO they had a lack of customers-research. Otherwise I can't see a good reason why having something Beta offered to the public.
