Most software works for most people most of the time. That includes
OSX, Excel, Windows - and Slimserver. You may have had no problems last
time you upgraded OSX, but I know several people who did. Likewise XP
SP2, and Office upgrades are a frequent cause of pain (why doesn't this
document open anymore? where's all the formatting gone?). In most cases
all they can do is look at the MS website, see there's a "known issue"
and hope it gets fixed. One day. 

The support from SlimDevices is leagues ahead of that I've received
from pretty much any software company - and that's with the kind of
support contracts which cost millions a year. Given that Slimserver is
also free (unlike the examples you give) I think it's a pretty damn
good deal. 

I know it sucks to be in the minority for whom things don't work out -
I've been there - but you have three choices. (a) go back to a working
version (b) actively help debug the problem and benefit yourself and
others (c) wait quietly until a new version comes out which fixes the
issues (which will be a while if no-one picks option b!).
