Quote - From what I see in threads about 7.4/7.5 here and on Cornucopia, it is likely that E-On is saving on QCA (quality control and assurance) resources and personel; maybe the reason is that they are creating monetary resources for their legal department...

I wouldn't have put it like that myself, but I must admit to feeling some concern about eon's latest offerings, which don't seem to have been tested with the care one might expect. Rightly or wrongly, eon seems to have gained a reputation as producing crash-a-lot software; it's not just here or the eon forums where you hear this, but also in pro arenas such as CG Talk, where a common statement goes along the lines of "I'd like to use [insert eon product of choice] because it produces fantastic results, but it just crashes too much to rely on".

You'd think that they would work to repair that perception, but then they produce a paid-for upgrade which seems to make matters worse. I just don't understand their approach, but it has made me very wary of spending more money with them right now.
