They know a lot of the bugs are there. It ultimately boils down to a
resource and perceived priority issue.

They run field tests/beta tests and people on subscription now get access
to them to raise bugs if they want. At the end of the day, it is a high
cost product, it shouldn't need the community to prop it up with sales and
also bug fixes. Sure we've all put bugs into our software, but it is more
the time it takes to get a fix out to the public. Visual Studio (IDE) and
Xamarin (Lib) have releases almost weekly.

Why does it take EMBT so long to release a fix pack and why after all this
time can't they figure out how to release patches instead of full installs.
