I think it will sell like hot cakes, some will experience problems and some will
not during installation, but the program will have its bug like the previous
versions, they cannot hide from that.

Maybe they should just do a microsoft and say that on a few computers it may
cause problems due to whatever reason. They can make up some crap, MS does all
the time.

I just pity the ones, who buy it, and it stuff up their system.
And if they do not have access to the net, any patches that do arrive, for the
people who installed it okay, they will never be able or know about patches to
fix the program bugs.

Like I said in a previous post, CM6K had 3 patches too many. There should be
none.
