John Knows I am not having a go at him. I post so that he may pass this onto the development team. You should know with chessmaster and me that I support and give credit where credit is due. And I also give a telling off when it is due too. I take no step back from my words. I stand by every word I say, mostly concerning CM7K. I have also mentioned in these critical posts that this has nothing to do with John. So there is no reason to say that I am having a go at him also. I am sure that he passes my comments on. And concerning bugs, and the availablity of patches, there seems to be a following by programmers and companies to release on time, make money and fix up any problem later. This was also bought up by KK when he reviewed CM6K a long time ago. Until someone speaks up, programmers and companies will treat us worse and worse unless we say something now. I have pretty standard hardware and settings, and have never had a total system failure to the degree that CM7K caused. Other have had problems also, this should not happen to the degree it has. Unless I see improvement I will continue to mention these things. This is the first time I have bought this up. I rarely state things twice. So even though my posts may seem harsh, they need to be mentioned. Its good you have not read some of my emails to mindscape, they make these comments seem like good poetry. :)
