Kind of makes me wish that I hadn't finished paying for the software, either...

Given the speed with which CB released a Fritz 12 update (http://fritzserver.org/updates/gui12.exe) with an updated Rybka, I'm guessing that the "time pressure" was coming from them.

I am pretty annoyed that, 9 months later, sampled search, "go wtime" and "go depth" are (still) busted.

Half bread is better than none.

Half bread is better than none.

I'm afraid that I don't really agree -- why should I be satisfied with the scraps? At a certain point, professional shame needs to kick in over at Rajlich & Co., once again releasing unfinished work, with little hope of any remedy for the consumer.

Given the history, am just happy there was even an update.

For a bug-fix maintenance update, no money comes in. Therefore, unless the author/company cares about customer service, there's no reason to hurry. Besides, the time spent taking care of the customers can be better spent decompiling programs, obfuscating code, meeting with attorneys over pending lawsuits and prosecution, destroying the source of various versions that might be requested by subpoena at a future date, and thinking up stories to tell people who ask questions about the originality of software.

I'd much rather see the money spent on lawyers than stoopid bug fixes. Priorities!
