all I know is in my case, the latest version of 6.1 was werse than the 
firswt 6.1 the whole msn issue was much werse, when installing the april 15 
version, you couldn't even read the histery window. and then when I tried to 
go back to 6.0, wich I knew worked? it made my 6.0 not work!  I had to 
reformat anyway, so I did that, and put 6.0 on here. and am not having 
probloems.  I am not going to 6.1 until I know for sure the msn 6.2 bugs are 
totally gone.

This is why Debian gnu/linux never gives release dates.  But that's a whole
different kind of market/selling strategy there

hi
This is excellent news, but the question still must be asked, why in the
hell didn't they just wait and release the version of the software if they
new these bugs existed? Of ccourse, if they didn't know, then obviously we
can't blame them. But I like the GW Micro approach to things. If it takes a
little longer to release a version of the software, then that's all the
better if it's as solid and strong as it can be.
I'm not expecting the FS programmers to be perfectionests, and release
absolutely bug-free software, that's not possible.  But it just seems like
a good idea to actually wait until bugs can be fixed before releasing a new
version, instead of releasing a buggy version which causes people all kinds
of problems, and then a week later, release a version which, in theory
should fix those bugs. Just skip the buggy version and give me the good one.
