On Windows2000 I notice a very long lag time for the new version to start. I
can't explain the delay, but the application takes a full minute to finish
loading to where I can select a connection profile and do something. I got
frustrated and uninstalled it. Version 6.7 is stable, adequate and quick to
load. I'll save the $10 upgrade charge.
Watch out during the uninstall if you have 6.x in a different direvctory.
The uninstall routine blew away all of the shortcuts, not just the ones for
the evaluation vewrsion of 7.0.
Sorry, guys (at Ipswitch). Tell me when 7.1 is released and maybe I'll try
again.
