Dead? No. I'd call it a minor setback. I've done several upgrades and
installs on my machine since Oxygen was announced. I've encountered
several bugs but no big deal. Fix it and move on. What you hear most of
all in these complaint posts is each individual's frustration with being
unable to find the problems and fix the problems by themselves. I do
feel, however, that 7.0 was rushed through to production a bit too
quickly. Good product == long beta test period during which all these
bugs could have been identified and ironed out before the masses got hold
of the product.
