Quote - > Quote - Imagine Poser 8 being released. We all know at least 3 service releases are needed to get it working (as good as possible). SM manages to release one a year, it will take 3 years before you can even really use P8. Or worse, they will release just on SR, as they have done with PP, then you can't even really use P8 at all.

 
Imagine two scenarios.

S1) Wait until the product is really really ready - as bug-free as can be measured by testers - and screw the ship date. Ship only when it's totally ready. Result: A bunch of people whine and complain how long it takes to get a new release with new features.

S2) Ship when it's good enough for 90% of the user base. Sure, some newer features are a little buggy, but these are corner cases for the most part. Result: A bunch of people whine and complain how the company released buggy software.

I'm not talking about SM here - I'm talking about every software company ever. The customer base falls into two groups - those that complain and those that don't - regardless of what decision you make. The only difference is the details about which individual's are in one group or the other.

I do prefer situation 2, I don't mind buggy software as long as I know it will be fixed. Most software I do own has bugs at the initial release, but after a while they get sorted out. With Poser you just don't know anymore if bugs even will get fixed.
