Goncalo,
But it's not the case here, is it? TB! problems are not located
elsewhere, mainly TB! problems are, IMHO, due to radical changes and
extreme anxiety to release a final version when major problems are
still present.
Don't know how much we can safely hypothesize about extreme anxiety. I do
know that very few players in the online communications arena see it in
their
interest to delay release of the product until there are no more problems
with
it. Management will say, get the product out there so it can pay for
continuing
development. If it won't do that, we want to find that out now before we
put
any more money into it. That is fairly universal with software managers.
GP> Getting excellency all around becomes a matter of odds. The more
I would say, "a matter of careful testing". For instance, VMWare has
an excellent product, that surely has bugs, but that are not evident.
By the traffic in the list you can see most people complaining about
something wrong in some part of TB! and many other people confirming.
We're here talking about an email client.
What you are really saying is that VM worked for you. You don't know how
many other
people it did not work for.
With TB! I have problems at least once a week. Yesterday I had
problems downloading my email. It stalled. I had to abort the task and
download it again. In the end I had to kill TB! via task manager
because it would refuse to quit due to some unfinished task. This is
not convenient and has been reported repeatedly.
On the other hand, I have not seen this behavior since the stable release
last
September.
I would say that a fault in a program will consistently appear for nearly
all users, the
one exception too often seems to be the development computer.
