Do you think that "Do you want to send the report" button is useless? In many ways, that full diagnostic report is just as valuable - perhaps even more so - than a verbally challenged report... ;)

I won't deny the value of the reporting Bill...if anyone is seriously looking at the reports. But, this close to RTM I doubt that the ACES folks are looking for a rash of new reports to sift through. There are undoubtedly still enough problems from the beta, per se, to be addressed. And not all those issues are going to be fully resolved prior to RTM. Adding in a bunch of data from 2000+ users with unknown hardware issues and experience levels isn't going to help much. My point is that the FilePlanet download isn't a "public beta" if one construes that to mean that folks are somehow participating in a beta test. It is, however, a full download of a beta test version with time-limited functionality (unless one uses a beta test key) - and that, to me, is nothing more than a full-version demo.Doug

Just downloaded it, tested it on my Core 2 Duo and decided it ran incredibly slow with lots of bugs. Then I removed it.It either works or doesn't. It didn't.Nels
