Vantage 8.03.410

Good luck with that! They cancelled the development on 9.04.508 which has
fixes I've been waiting for 2 years to get. My only option is to go to
9.05. L

I'd vote for stability rather than being released on time.

And is this really the case at Epicor now?
I think it would be great if they are really slowing down a bit and cleaning
up some of the "features" for us.

fixing our software. (I have these visions of one programmer in a back room

That's what I was told by some of the higher-ups at Epicor. I agree with the need for stability and accepted the new 12/26/2011 date I'd been given (I had previously been given dates of 02/17/2010, 04/02/2010, 07/2010, 08/2010, 11/2010, Q4/2010, 4/25/2011). I have received 10 one-off fixes for 8.03.409A (one of these is part of 8.03.409C) which I'm very grateful for. I accepted having the date pushed back another 8 months to the end of 2011. I'm just terribly disappointed that my wait isn't over yet...maybe they can add a 2nd programmer to the back room. ;)
