I quite agree, Borg. In announcing the release date for VV2 LDW were in effect making a rod for their own backs. I am sure that Arthur and his team were working more or less 24/7 towards the end of the buildup to find and fix bugs thrown up in the beta testing. It was inevitable that some bugs would be left in. I appreciate that BFG and other suppliers needed a specific release date, but an update is different; a simple announcement when it is ready is all that is needed. Without the pressure imposed by deadlines a much better job can be made.
If only Microsoft could have kept quiet about Vista until it was released they'd have avoided a lot of the adverse publicity.
