BTW, you can safely assume that once we acknowledge an IDE hang (which
means possible data loss) bug, it will be fixed in the next shipping
release.
So reading between the lines, service packs are now a thing of the past.
So then, what is the purpose of that "Check for updates" item on the Help
menu? Even a simple honest answer would be better than nothing, and much
better than a lie. If the answer is "We have no intention of providing bug
fixes", why not just tell us? Some reason you can't do that? Something
you're not allowed to talk about? Orders from Bill? Worried that we'd all
immediately jump ship to Borland C++ Builder or go install Red Hat or
something? Or maybe you could tell us, but then you'd have to kill us? That
one I can see, cuz we wouldn't be upgrading no mo' after that! :-)
