We are still sitting on the fence as to wether to buy Vue or not.
If we buy it, we will purchase the full xStream version with the maintenance package.

We use all 64 bit PC's for workstations and Our render farm.
We will be  pro user from the standpoint we will use it for production purposes.

My concern is for all the bad feelings toward e-on, and all the bugs we hear about.

I would actually like to meet with someone to buy the software, meaning I would drive or fly to where they are and make sure we will get the level of support promised.

Unfortunately it seems the hype from new releases doesnt live up to expectations, particularly given the number of bugs.

We have asked other professionals in our line of work that use Max on PC's and with one exception, they all say and perceive Vue to be very bug prone and unreliable.

I would also like to see some discount offered from e-on for high dollar purchases (Our price tag with maintenance will be around $3,500 US).

I would also like to have some recourse should the software prove unreliable to the point it becomes unusable, meaning a window of time where we could receive a refund.

There has to some reasonable solution.

Best regards,
David
