  13. I can only aggree with Jeff. Much of the response of the BleedingEdge
  14. Beta testers provided you with information which you wouldn't have had
  15. if there wouldn't have been BleedingEdge releases.
  16. It's just not possible, even for bigger companies like Micr*s*ft to
  17. have a full working product without a "user beta testing" phase like it
  18. was done with Wind*ws 3.1 and the followups.
  19.  
  20. And as far as i see it many of us WANT the Bleeding Edge :)
  21.  
  22. Just look at the sound stuff for example. Without the Bleeding Edge
  23. releases the sound wouldn't have worked that quickly.
  24.  
  25. Just my opinion, it's still up to ARDI what they want to do, but whatever
  26. they do i'll stick with 'em and will continue to use and update Executor.
