Re: 2007 SP0.0 available

Hey Matt,

I'll repeat here what I just posted in the SW ng...

----------------------------------------------------
As I see it, things have to change in how this software is released or
NOT released.

For instance, Why not have the paying customers say if it is ready for
release or NOT??

The beta testers know there were a lot of regressions in this release
and a lot of them not fixed yet, SW Corp released it? Why?

I honestly spent "very little time" beta testing and yet I was one of
the top 25!?
And, I found a lot of problems, which I could not always report because
I did not have time and/or I could not consistently show the problems.

Do we pay for reliabilty and consistency or do we pay for developers and
SW Corp to release regressed, buggy and half implemented features in
hope the USERS will help them weed out the problems??
Out investment and their job is to provide the highest quality software
available, no?

Otherwise, what is SW Corps commitment? To release what they can when
the can and however they can within the margin of what is
acceptable?.... currently, it seems exactly the case. We get what we
pay for.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------


I really do feel numb about this because in a inverted way, I believe we
are the dead horse being beaten ourselves.

I do know that, of the 3 SW forums I looked into (c.c.sw, Eng-Tips, and
SW's forum) this one has the most negative tone on average. SW quality
certainly bears a big piece of the blame for that.

That's because the other two are moderated, although I've seen some
dooseys from our friend Mr Salvador remain on the SW forum. Eng-tips has
a tendency to get a bit sappy, saccharine and over-polite because people
are competing for gold stars, and because if you say anything critical,
your message gets yanked. I've also found a higher percentage of
mis-information on Eng-tips, or answers that are incorrect or
incomplete. You rarely see people disagree or contradict one another
there. People who go to Eng-tips don't mind moderation, advertisement,
and web-based forums, none of which would fly here.

I definitely agree with the comment about c.c.sw being more nerdy and
I'd guess a bit less mainstream because of the elitist underworld
component active on usenet. Still, I think it just means that people
feel more free to say what's on their minds here. Have a tough skin, an
open mind and know how to use a plonk list.

For all its warts, I prefer this newsgroup. Its coming up on its 10th
anniversary. The first post was May 14, 1997 by Greg Jankowski.
