I'm way past tired of these threads, but since it is obvious that many people read or post to them without having read the prior threads, I would note the following: If you search this forum, you will discover that CLers, including kupa, weren't taking paychecks. Perhaps it's wild speculation on my part, but I think that maybe CL was under some pressure to get the product out the door. A search would also reveal that CL admits that it was aware of non-critical bugs on shipment, not the usability nightmares that some have experienced. And my sympathies go out to people with those problems, not the people who are constantly trolling to complain about a feature that was not implemented in P5, or who persist, despite any real knowledge of CL's position, in believing that they had better business plans that the people who were saving the company in the real world. I have even less good to say about the people who are using the announcement of the updater as another occasion to lob a written jab in this forum...attacking people who are trying to clean up problems they may not have seen. As for the bug vs. system question, it is not simply one of intel vs. AMD. A PC system (macs being a different story as noted above) is not simply the processor; there are different motherboards, videocards, drivers, iterations of operating systems, other apps (particularly graphics apps) that may reside on a hard drive, bits of orphan code in registries, etc. BTW, I'm not of the school that it's all the fault of the user or system, either. Again a search of these types of threads suggests that there are some problems common to diverse systems. I would hope that these are problems that can be rectified with the updater, along with the no-brainers (missing morphs cr2's etc.)
