Can anyone explain me the difference between 1.9 and this beta again ?

from Stardock Forums

I had a working 1.9 (with a workaround to get everything working on Vista 64) and paid a few months ago for the new beta.

Except a slight improvement of stability, and no issues on 64bit installations (I mean no workaround needed) I really don't see a difference between both. This one product is very promising, has always been, but as it is, it looks as development is dead.

Asking to pay for a beta just to get the issues ironed out of a official release (which I already paid for, but never got a satisfactory support for, altough promised on several occasions). is almost theft.

Sorry for my harsh words.

One BIG change is how tabs are handled. I absolutely LOVE the ability to edit, move, or delete tabs from my tabbed docks without entering the config screen. I use it all the time.

There is better integration with Windows 7 features, like Aero-peek.

I am very satisfied so far.

I still feel like I have paid for fixes that should have been free anyway. Support for the previous release has been dead for how long ? 2 years ?

To state my point :

"64 bit support for system-tray icons, start menu docklet"  > this was supported at one time, but got removed after an update. (was more of a downgrade for most users).

"Fixed long list of bugs and glitches as reported by users" > I paid for an unfinished product, and have to pay again to get it fixed ?

And finally, the version number is still reading 1.9 . Weren't we supposed to pay only for major releases ? Those fixes should have been free for existing users

And for the record, there has been only 1 minor update for this beta. Again.
