Reading what's below shows that MB intend to sell a software that will have bugs and will be fixed
when they will be discovered.
Commercial words removed, I canot see any difference between his attitude and Omega Research policy,
and even any commercial company producing software.
When bugs are found, they are fixed by mean of SPacks ( more than two for TS2000i).
Let's stop the hypocrysis now.
We all know that all software may have minor bugs when released, and need to be fixed later.
There is a difference however:
Omega does not maintain a public list of (minor) known bugs, but has a software currently running.
TraderWare has not the software running for the public, but the known bug page is already designed.
That's aside, it is difficult to trade for the moment with only the hypothetical bug web page and not the related software.
The reverse is far more easier...
