- What's amazing (and annoying) to me is that PKWARE shipped out 2.04c as
- upgrade fulfilment to registered users. How could they not have known
- about many of the bugs? I mean, volume labels not working? One test
- would have shown them that.
-
- It's not as though they felt any great time pressure--after all, they
- were advertising 2.0 a year before it was available. Why could they not
- have waited another week or two and done some testing?
