Hey guys! Listen up! Sheee-whillikers!! Anybody who has EVER purchased a piece of software knows that the first version out the door is buggy. Period. Whether it is a crash-worthy bug or a minor glitch or a bad case of stutters in a sub-routine, I doubt if anything more complicated than a mouse-driver has come out error-free (and, BTW, Microsoft refuses to support their own mice, 2 bad ones in a year: I've only bought Logitech for the last decade). And they can afford a thousand beta-testers if any company can. Therefore, if you are a congenital complainer, and you know who you are, because the rest of us surely know your names, I have a suggestion. Please, for the sake of your stomach lining and our eyes and ears, PLEASE don't buy any software during the first 6 months after release. Wait until the patches and updates start coming. Saying that something "sucks" isn't constructive criticism, either. A proper bug report stating what happens, when it happens, and your system configuration (and any other helpful information) emailed to tech support will do more to getting the problem fixed... unless your goal is simply to vent in a public forum. Most of the complaints mentioned above have been a matter of personal choice and design preference rather than flaws in performance. The product has been out for 2 weeks. It may take a while to discover what shortcomings lie with the software and what lie with the users... just as it takes a while to discover the strengths of each. Carolly
