I received the 1.1 beta version a week ago and guess what ?

its got 22 pages of over 200 different bugs from the previous version 
that were supposedly fixed !

that's right, over 200 bugs and that is not a typo.

geez, I certainly wouldn't want to buy a $500 program just to be a beta
tester, or buy a $500 beta program for that matter! a program with that
many bugs, to me is a beta program!


as far as I'm concerned, a $500 should not be allowed to be released with
this many bugs (even though a user may only encounter, say 10% of it).

there should be aconsumer group that checks the quality of a program,
(particularly high priced one) before it gets released.
