It wouldn't be so bad if it was a shareware prog I paid $20 for, but
Studio sells in Australia for more than $1000 - that's more than Microsoft
Word and a **LOT** more than even Adobe Photoshop. And they want $385 for
a renewal of the subscription.
For that kind of money, I expect it to bloody well work, and for that kind
of subscription, I expect to get support and I expect to get updates
before the non-subscribers. I expect to be able to get updates sent to
me automatically without having to swing on the phone a dozen times and I
expect to get bugs fixed, not made worse and left to rot over 3 versions.
Did you know that even in the release they had on Allaire's web site for
4.5.1 there was an invalid DLL that caused the program to crash Win9x
systems when you closed Studio? Think I could get them to admit it was in
their release? It took a dozen phone calls before I got a support guy
who was brave enough to admit it, and he told me to delete the dll and use
one that was in the older version. That corrupted dll stayed in the
release for at least 6 months, because I downloaded it for another system
and it was still there.
They charge like Adobe and Microsoft on steroids, but I'm
afraid when it comes to Studio, they code like my son's high school class.
But I quite like the server product <g>
