Vue 5 Infinite, even for me, was buggy as hell for the first 6 months, ugh.
VUe 6 was less so and nearly all bugs gone by 6 month period.
Vue 7 is even less buggy than 6 and was moslty ok for me from the start, BUT, it is much much smoother on 64 bit systems with lots of RAM than on 32 bit systems. It really is a night and day difference. Not everyone has such rigs though.

the modular upgrade approach is causing bugs/problems for some, it's obviously a stupid over complexity.
Just sell Vue Studio for $100, Infinite for $400, Xstream for $740, and end that crap!! 3 versions, less wasted time for bug hunting.

MAC users seem to have a LOT of troubles with Vue :/

Crafty, Rutra,
economic meltdown...folk lack money...not a good time to be asking for more money, especiallyhen many other companies are giving free upgrades,discounts etc.

Pixilogic, I've went from v2 Zbrush to to soon v4 for free.
Lightwave v8, now to 9.5 all free and big savings if I had went for Lightwave Core.

E-On's product is less than 6 months old, and now they want more money for an add on, but if you buy that add on, that $295 will not come off Vue8 price.
And way E-On has done it all, as if only Studios matter to them as customers.

You may not see it, but that's what a lot of folk are getting from this, and are angry.

"Let them eat cake" was not a good thing ot say, at a certain moment in history :D (Whether she said it or not doesn't matter, the very idea blew folks's stacks because they were suffering...bad timing)
