I'm getting tired of this exchange, mostly 'cause of the tone of voice.
Please, can we keep it professional?
1) Mr. Van de Heyning has a point, this is a major release which perhaps
came out a bit too quickly. Maybe a solid 5.5 would have been a better
intermediate step.
2) Mr. Fritts is correct, programmers are not different than anyone else, in
that none of us respond well to whining and invective. Some major changes
have been made, and problems have been quickly acknowledged and addressed.
Further, systems vary. The history of this list shows that for every problem
reported, there is someone out there (luck of the gods, perhaps) who has
never seen it. If all else fails, re-apply your NT service packs....
3) If you can't stand the heat, why jump into the kitchen? Personally, I
never install software versions that end in zero, period. And from
Microsoft, I never install a product until version 3.1 or better (anybody
but me remember Windows 1.0?) I hope those are test servers you're all
working on.
4) This week I am finally taking our 4.07 installation and moving to a new
server. We plan to go to 5.08, then wait for 6 to settle down a bit. Last
year's version is good enough for us, for almost everything but virus
scanners ;-)

In response to Mr. Fritts message (see below) I would answer this:
