That is simply not true. I use dozens of different pieces of software on a daily basis that don't suffer from such problems. Heck, a few of them I wrote myself. Many were created by amateurs who understand the concept of quality.
No one is asking for perfection. All that is desired is quality. It is currently not present in many aspects of the software.
There are lies, damn lies, and then there are statistics. Revealing how many bugs were found by beta testers isn't a very useful data point.
More nonsense. The only bugs that fall into such a category are bugs that would require vast changes to the internal working of SW. Such bugs are rare. The vast majority of 'known bugs' can be fixed in short order. If the code is well written.
Several hundred regular posters clearly think otherwise. The simple fact is that the highest quality questions and answers are asked and given in this newsgroup. I dare say that many folks here are far more familiar with SW than most SW employees, including the coders who likely haven't designed/detailed a mechanical component at any point in their career.
Oh please.
How does one get caught 'sneaking out'? Furthermore, why would Autodesk employess need to create 'false identities'? What organizatin do you have to be a card carrying member of in order to attends Solidworks World? I thought the event was open to anyone. Were charges filed against these brazen impersonators? Fraud is a crime after all....
However many the voices in your head tell you.
Well desreved from where I stand. Hint: The best way to prevent your competitors from attacking is to *not* provide them with ammunition.
Cue the black helicopters.....
Not half as nasty as the random suppression of features and CTDs I fight every day.
