And then instead of everyone complaining about bugs they think FS should
have found in the first place you would hear from the people wanting to know
why FS was so slow releasing updates.

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.
