Name one. But don't mention Adobe or Macromedia or AutoCad or Treepad or Microsoft or Primasoft or Jacs or FTM or TMG or Coffecup or . . . (the list could go on forever), because they have all both offered buggy software and issued numerous fixes (thought, to be fair, some have called them new builds and charged accordingly). I know because I use all of them and beta test for half. Try using Autocad v 13 at $850 a pop and them complain about Legacy.
Wm Voss --- snip --- Of all the thousands of software titles available in your local stores, none of them cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, most of them are considerably more complex than Legacy, and most of them either require no bug fixes at all or merely one single update that is released almost immediately after the product has been released for sale. Bob -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Glen Ballard Sent: Friday, March 25, 2005 17:42 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] New Legacy Update - 23 March 2005, Version 5.0.0.217 Bob, I would suggest then that you setup 1000's of computers at your house with most every configuration of hardware and software combinations possible and volunteer testing their software for them on every platform, every hardware possibility from Pentium 1 / AMD / Cyrix processors and every variation up to the most modern processors of today with every possible version of windows with every possible patch level from Windows 95 unpatched to Windows 2003 Server fully patched. If you were to do this, then it could be tested before release to the general public. Oh, might I mention that you would have to hire the 1000's of people to run the tests and write hundreds of pages of test procedures for this test. And before you could test Legacy fully, you would have to make sure that 1.) every version of the OS was totally bug free 2.) every version of Access, used for Legacy's back end database, was totally bug free 3.) every version of the other components supported by Legacy that aren't owned or written by Legacy were totally bug free (such as Adobe Acrobat Reader). And then - repeat this process with every release of Legacy, Windows, Access, Acrobat, etc... Oh, and if they were to do this setup and hire the staff to do the testing mentioned above, the product would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and not the very affordable $19.95 (Internet download price). My 2 cents worth.
