Of course, using alpha & beta software is always going to be a fraught with
problems.....I accept that and understand the risks. It's also good that
Vapor are releasing the beta's, so we registered user's can see the
work-in-progress but IMHO the development of V is slowly going backwards
instead of forwards.
Each new release seems to either contain new bugs or has carried them over
from a previous release. I'm not sure why that is, maybe the internal
beta-testers aren't as thorough as they could be. Also remember as a
paying customer, I'm more likely to buy the next release, if I can see a
marked and steady improvement over the older versions.

I don't understand the point you're trying to make. Using a DC is just a
means to an end....if I could reliably surf the net using my fridge, I
would. It doesn't matter what hardware I use, as long as the end result is
acheived.
