This is not totaly true. 1.5 is not that buggy. most buggyness comes in with that
fact that there are so mny different machines out there that people try to install
it on. Plus three different truevision boards. Ver 1.5 with a Rtx.dtx board is
rock solid. yes there are features that could be implimented (which 1.6 doea fix
some) but those can't be called bugs. I got a 1.5 on a compaq 6000 installed and
runing rock solid (24 hour burn in) in under 2 hours. It is very good for the
price (turn key can be 10K+ less then the mac version) Yes avid isn't putting a
ton of work into NT but they are not ignoreing it. And with Symphony comeing out
Greater things may be on the way. Yes Nt is not as Good as the Xpress but it is
good. (better the Speed razor or D-vision)
