Bam, it looks to be the right assessment - vegas is apparently not as handicapped as the current forge 8 release (broken plugins ?!?(horrendous fubar since they kind of have to work until we have a second option to use - good grief!/ripple/bussing/unaddressed issues from previous versions/but I suspect even more as it goes into field beta testing.... etc) we've put a freeze on upgrades until someone stops sniffing glue while they code these apps and ignores basic QC procedure.

Have to wonder if they'll fix it quicker than a couple of months.(!@!?!) I still think Sonic was either high or something to actually say that out loud in light they got our cash and flipped us off with forge 8 - and that is exactly what it felt and looked like. A couple of months?

I recall a time when Sonic Foundry could and would make good on their products. Fixes for openly broken things would be a matter of maybe a week or so. Not some vaguely non descript nonsense of a couple of months (they could have taken a couple of months and done some QC testing on it rather than inflict it on the increasingly wary). Spare me the logistics. I doesn't wash, the technology makes it even more likely an immediate solution could be produced, not less likely. They were doing it in 2001, the machines and code bases have only gotten faster and more streamlined since then. if I understood PCH on the unified codebase correctly.

Interesting public relations tact to take for a company that went head first just recently. I hope Sony Corporate is more forgiving than I am but I'm kind of doubting it. They're a business, and like being in business.

On the other side, I do want to say Dave Hill in particular was extremely helpful in shedding some light on the bus issue in 5. So at least one person I have some faith in not to be asleep at the wheel. Even if almost none of the bus issue was addressed in the current release from what can be seen (they've removed the dialogue altogether at this point)
