SOT: Just wondering (concerning updates)

I was just wondering how many people are like me? Do you have an Internet ritual. You get online and you have a list of a dozen or so sites you visit all in a row. Check your email, check the news, Facebook, various forums, bank account, etc?

And how many of you come here every day hoping to find a new update for Vegas 11? For me it's become part of my daily Internet ritual. I don't want to start yet another discussion talking trash about Sony and Vegas 11, but for me the ultimate update, that would fix Vegas 11 - FOR ME - (yes, I know many of you have no problems at all) is kind of like a holy grail, one that I go on a search for every morning after I turn my computer on. Hoping that maybe the next release will be the magic one that allows me to use Vegas 11 without having a fear of it crashing after the next mouse click.

Just wondering.....

Perhaps you need some good 19th century philosophy: keep busy working hard and you won't have time to ponder such things.

That's probably good the advice in the 21st century as well.

Here I thought I was the only one who was OCD enough to check the update sites everday. I have a list in my favorites of all my main software (5 sony products alone) and I go thru the list everyday.
Sometimes I am suprised and have a update of one of the products and it is a little like Christmas, you know it is new but will it be what you want or will it work out of the box. I enjoy checking but perhaps I should not check everyday.

I love Vegas and I am hammering though a large transfer poject and Vegas has not let me down yet. (fingers crossed).

I've made this forum my home page so that I am sure to get the next update as soon as it is released...

Currently I am using V11 521 for my first paid project. I have a fast CPU but not a fast GPU, so the GPU issues are not affecting me...

This project is mostly cuts & splices between a multi-cam shoot so I can copy & paste to V10 if something goes haywire... I've been saving the project under a different VEG name every 15 minutes. After about 6 hours of work on a 4 hour video I have had 2 crashes. Overall I feel the stability is better than 10e but not as good as 9e and defiitely not as good as 8c. However, the automatic recovery allowed me to only lose about 5 minutes of work each time, so I am plodding along & keeping my fingers crossed...

Hmmmm. Am i weird? When i find out there's an update, which the software tells me without me bothering to check, i'll get around to it sometime over the next 6 months or so.

I usually don't update right away. I tend to watch the forums and read others experiences before updating. Usually within a week or two I'm fairly sure of what to expect and then either do or don't update.

I was referring to the build updates, not waiting around for V12...

V11 was purchased in October and 4 months later, I am testing-out build 521 on a separate boot drive. The paid project only mostly contains cuts & splices between a multi-camera shoot and does not have a deadline, so it is a perfect fit for my purposes.

Yes, that's what I was originally referring to (in case there was any confusion). I was referring to the build updates. And I'm getting awfully tired of seeing that "521" at the top of this forum! ;-)
