To be fair, all software has bugs. Question is, do they interfere with the basic stated functions of the program? No, you can't sue software makers for releasing crap. Check any EULA... odds are perfect that there is a "we don't warrant jack sh!t in here!" type of phrase in there. Yer spends yer money, you gets what shows up. [i]Caveat Emptor[/i] and all that jazz... This is why I let everyone else be lab rats before I lay down the dough for a commercial s/w package (now if it's free and/or Open Source, okay... I can deal with bugs and likely fix the things if I can get at the source code). This is why on the professional level, most high-dollar apps (for any purpose) have demos, and why the really expensive stuff usually means that you get a demo server/desktop to test it on before deciding to write any checks. /P
