Yeah, and they expect us to pay for this stuff. $100 to go from 3.2 to 3.3,

Subject: HJ admit simple 3.3 bug!
>Hi,
>
>When I first saw the mails about the strange and short beta test period I
thought people were overreating, because I only downloaded the 3.30.13 and
from this version there was i think 3 weeks until what HJ calls the first
release of 3.3 3.30.22 was realease.
>
>The following has changed my mind in this case. I have installed IE5.0
minimal installlation. In Outlook Express the scripts reading the fields
from to cc and so on, are still there. Well almost the alt+1 script does not
on my pc read the from field. HJ tech support wrote back advising me to turn
off the preview pane. Well I had already done this! The reaction from tech
supports seems to indicate that the problem is known at HJ.
>
>Well is it so bad that there is released a first version of 3.3 with bugs
that propperly will result in a new version beeing posted in some weeks? For
people using JFW in other countries such a policy leeds to even greater
delays before we get e.g. the Danish version of JFW. A JFW version seems to
live for 12 months until a new and much improved version is released. Our
experience in Denmark is that it takes about 4 to 5 months until the first
official Danish version is released. This means that we have to wait half of
the versions lifetime when this is taken to be the time between the first
official release until the first officiel release of the next major version
e.g. 3.0 to 3.2 and 3.2 to 3.3.

>Eric Dammery of HJ promised last summer that this problem was beeing
addressed at HJ in the U.S. and he stated clearly that HJ in the U.S. was
responsible for these very long localization times and that the local HJ
dealers in Europe were not to blame. That has happened, well as described in
3.3 HJ now prolongs the time between U.S: release and European releases with
the premature release of 3.30.22. This happens because the deelers know
about the problems in the current version and now they are waiting for the
first stable version until starting the big task of localization.

>I hope HJ will address these localization problems in the next version.
Actually there are many customers outside the U.S.
