I was present for the big 1.0 release, very stable, not really, more like a media move. We are a real PBX now we have a version 1.0!!!. Windows Millennium was released, I guess according to your logic that it was indeed stable because is was released. Take it a step further, you are saying that any beta software that is about to be released means it's stable. Please think logically about what you just said.... > >> If you have a 15,000 average call volume a day and 400+ agents, hmmmmm, >> I think 1.2 might be a little wiser choice.

If there is any resentment, it is in your mind and self reflection may be wise as I was not trying to call you a "media machine" or a "talking head", but you may have felt the shoe fit possibly? I don't know, only you do.
