I don't think these company's making money give a damn about how buggy or how their software works - or doesn't as the case may be - these days, gone it seems are the days once upon a not so long ago when a Screen Reader wasn't released for sale until bugs and problems were well and truly sorted and documented, now its just about how much money a company can make on an upgrade and getting that upgrade out ASAP and damn the consequences.
