This isn't fun anymore!

This isn't intended to be a bash but it is intended to recommend a change in direction. I have had Holster since it's inception and have never encountered a problem worth speaking of until the release of 4.00. I have experienced many of the problems that have been discussed in this forum with the 4.** releases and I am a little uneasy about expecting 4.06 to finally end all the frustration. I don't do shows very often anymore but wouldn't you know now that I have one scheduled for next week, I am very nervous about doing the show with any version from 4.00 to 4.05. I know I can use 3.40 or try to go back to an older version, but I for one am burned out spending hours trying this and trying that. I purchased a product that I expected to work without encountering all of the mess that has occured with 4.**. Again, this isn't meant to me a bash to MTU. I know they have done a great job in the past and will eventually get things ironed out. My wish is that since these problems seem to be related to getting this program to run with Vista, and MTU has recommended in the past to stick with XP, why not offer a release that has nothing to do with Vista for the many of us that have stuck with XP. I know this may be extra work for MTU but it would seperate the problems with Vista and XP users until the Vista problems can be resolved. At the rate it is going it may be nearly a year from the release fo 4.00 until the features we were expecting is encorporated into the final working version. I believe offering an XP and Vista version would better serve MTU's customer base and keep a higher level of confidence until the Vista problems are resolved. I hope i haven't offended anyone by stating my opinion.
