[DUG] Developers not upgrading

[Robert martin]

Hi

This is a side track but....

We did upgrade to D2007 and feel somewhat ripped off.  D2007 has a 
number of major bugs that we have reported, seen promoted to the 
internal database and never seen a fix for.  When D2007 was released the 
auto updating aspect was heavily pushed (at the launch). 

a) It has never auto updated (we always have to manually run separate 
app to check for updates).
b) A number of major bugs don't seem to be being fixed, probably in 
favor of a new release.

Does one upgrade to a new release if it might break parts of their app 
and then they have to wait 2+ yrs for a new version to fix that?
