Unfortunately writing software is very much dealing with a moving target. AFAIK Windows (any flavor) was not designed for real time, time critical operation. It doesn't matter whether you like or dislike a particular platform, fixing problems that you have no control over that were due to an operating system limitation (called a feature quite often) is not an easy task. The Flex software I have run so far has done quite well considering the inherent instability of the operating system software it is running on. Give those working on this problem some breathing room. The code has been published, if your brave you can always try hacking on the code and see if you can find where some of the problems are. Things like web browsers, mail clients, virus scanners all take clock cycles. To further complicate things there is typically a very convoluted registry (if your running Windows) that is different for almost every computer. That adds another level of unpredictable behavior to the system.
The Flex software has been making steady progress, even in the short time that I have been watching it develop.
