Fix all bugs - "all" is impossible - if you think TS7 is buggy (it is

Which version of RealTick? pre-7.x? 7.5? 7.6? 7.7? Having helped several 
friends around TS7.x bugs, and used RT 7.6 on a regular basis, I'm of a 
much different opinion. I see far more problems in TS. I'm curious where 
you find issues. I'm aware that pre-7.x RT had it's share of problems.

Just to offer an alternate opinion, I have not found either Townsend 
Analytics or TerraNova to be arrogant as suggested. In my experience, 
Townsend Analytics have been far more helpful on their SDK than many other 
software vendors, even with unusual, annoying, or obvious questions (like 
RTFM). TerraNova has been very responsive as well, and rarely a problem.

On the other hand, I cannot say that I have been terribly impressed with 
Omega Research as a company. But then again, I stopped upgrading at TS 
2000i, so I cannot directly comment on their brokerage services.
