If MTU had waited until this stage of development to release 4.0 everyone would have been really upset. This was why they released 4.0 when they did. Every upgrade since then including 4.10 and the future 4.20 to add the rest of the feature items asked for and granted have been and are still free upgrades. MTU has spent enormous amounts of money trying to develop all of these features and has not seen a penny for it other than your initial upgrade cost.
I don't know exactly what you are doing or what is causing your problem, but I have been running shows with 4.XX since the beginning and have never had to restart Hoster or reboot the computer during a show, except for one computer error (not Hoster related).

You are fortunate that you have not had problems. I have read many posts on this forum and many have had problems and are still having problems. My post was not intended to be a bash but was a opinion. I understand that MTU has put much time and money in their efforts. I also understand that most of the problems and time they have put in has been in dealing with Vista. They haven't recommended using Vista for awhile and still don't recommend it. I don't have Vista (thank god!) and I am stating that for MY money I have been disappointed with Holster since 4.0. I understand that the upgrades have been free and righfully so. When a product is loaded with problems the upgrades should be free to fix all the problems. I hope the next release is more stable than what has been offered to date. I, like you and many others, have been using holster since it's inception and until now have been more than satisfied. If prior to 4.0 I had no problems and now I have more than is acceptable, I don't feel it is unreasonable to not be happy with the product just as many people including MTU is not happy with Vista. As I stated in my previous posts I have spent more money on memory upgrades after paying for the 4.0 upgrade. I hope I don't have to purchase a new computer to run hoster. If so, I believe it will be time to go another direction. I have enjoyed all of the MTU products for many years but I can't afford to continue running shows and having to delay the shows by rebooting. Most of my problems have been due to lyrics out of sink with the music. Again, I am not intending this to be a bash but I believe MTU needs to know when customers aren't happy and I don't mind the occasional missed target dates but when it becomes the rule rather than the exception, I would prefer to wait until they are confident about a release date before posting it. Remember, 4.0 was about 2 months late from the original estimated release date. I respect your opinion, I just don't agree with it.
