Everything comes with some issues at first. We just have to be patient and look for the positive and stop only dwelling on the negative.
We should all be really thankful that the programmers are not the ones that put up the Obumer care web site. See there is a really big positive. Nothing is crashing.

As a tester, I know that myself, and most of my testing colleagues, were not just testing that new features worked but that all of the functions worked. I personally built new large family files with L8, faster that I could have with L7.5. Created reports, exported Gedcoms to TNG, etc etc. Talking out of turn maybe... 1/ Making Legacy 8 better conform to Microsoft standards was huge issue for the testers world wide. It is the first step for Legacy making some other moves to comply with expected 21st century standards in future revisions. Remember, Millennia is not a huge company like Ancestry with dozens of programmers and more money to spend than they know how to spend. Moving from a 15+ year old platform to today's platform cannot be done easily whilst maintaining the essential character of the product. When Ancestry did this with Family Tree Maker, they lost a ton of customers (many of which Legacy gained... ;-) ) and the character and functionality of FTM today is quite different, but in many ways still not what Legacy is today. 2/ Many L8 features are still to come. When this birthing is over, I suspect we will start going on more new stuff. 3/ Roots Magic is a good product but functionally not up to what Legacy can do. It does some stuff better than Legacy but more things poorer than Legacy. It does not give you all of the options that Legacy gives. AND RM does not have the international support that Legacy has. If a user does not want to be a pioneer with new software and help birth ANY new product, wait 30-60 days to upgrade when the kinks get worked out by those who do. Hoping you will stay with the team... as I value your input, john.
