Sackrat! You're not the only one. I like B6 a whole lot. Like it for the same reason you mentioned. I have two dual core machines and it's nice to see the performance. Most of my work continues to be in B5, because I like how easy it is to toggle full screen with that, something I haven't found how to do in B6 yet. (if anyone finds out, please let me know).
The only thing I have to really complain about is the new Help. It's HTML, which is okay, but the Javascript DAZ is using uses a fancy tree to list topics. Everytime I access it, it tells me it it's got a problem--the exact message I don't remember, and B6 is installed at my desktop which I'm not able to access at the moment. The problem though is that it looks like it's trying to initialize a variable which hasn't been properly initialized or the code is failing to find it. Anyway, the work around would be to hunt for the proper HTML file, but the DAZ names for the files are cryptic names. So slowly I've been converting the files to pure HTML, which is a pain b/c there's so much of them.
Anyway, this part, I'm not happy about, because help should always be workable. A PDF file or pure HTML would've been the smart way to do it. Lowest Common Denominator for help would've been the best. Help should be helpful. But that's my only true gripe.
But as far as the executable goes, I like B6. It has crashed on me, but I haven't lost work with it, and it's faster than the trusty B5, and it's got good features.
