>From a software development standpoint, then, SS is at extreme risk for not making the Sept 18 deadline. The software should be in beta with only 50 or so days left before release. Though I'm happy with 6.3.x and not using 6.5, from the traffic in these forums it looks like there's *no way* it's ready to enter beta, and a 60-day beta is the absolute minimum I've seen to get a true quality release out the door -- both on software I've worked on and that which I've purchased. -- mbonsack ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mbonsack's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1398 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25771 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
