It's a product. We're consumers. We are not required to be cheerleaders; that's what our purchasing power is for. And legitimate complaints — such as, you're charging more than you promised for a release that is largely centered around selling us new content and fixing bugs from the previous release — should be heard. Relentless positivism is simply driving me batty. Carrara is a product, not a religion. There have been, particularly with Apple and the Mac versions, some serious problems  (with Mac, we're now almost THREE operating systems further along since 8.1, for instance, and 8.1 stopped working for most of us with a new OSX three months after 8.1 was released — two years ago). I'm glad some of you are ecstatic. I'm a little annoyed at being charged full upgrade price (albeit with discounts) for a release that fixes bugs and makes it possible for me to buy new content. I find it ironic the bug tracker completely changed right before this release, and all the previous history wiped clean.

I'm truly as positive as they come, and I'm irritated at the general, "How dare you have concerns." For instance, DIM still isn't installing for Mac successfully, into the Carrara package, and there are no instructions anymore on how to do it manually. And CMS isn't working at all on many Macs, but there's no guidance at all on what to do. Bringing up the problem, however, is being negative. Whatever.
