Sounds like someone did a sales job on you. What a great answer about SP6,
definitely, probably, most likely this YEAR - I think. Great sales job in an
attempt to appease everyone but it is no answer at all. It should infuriate
everyone who spent money on this unfinished piece of trash. It should be a
signal for the accountability you can expect in the future with any new
product they release. They have been doing business like this since day one
and if you expect they are going to change you are in for a big suprise. If
you haven't been around long enough to see how they work it goes like this.
You buy there present product, by the time you get thru all the manuals and
start to try and do something usefull you start to run into all the bugs and
unecessary limitations. For a while they promise to fix everything. Then out
of the blue they anounce a new product and tell everyone. Upgrade to our new
product, you won't regret it with all its new features. The writing is on
the wall for the old product so you bite the bullet and purchase the
upgrade, and guess what the cycle starts all over again.
Enough of my rant.
