Emm. I wouldn't personally try it since their final versions of software even contains issues.

Chaka?

Sounds like the name of that Unas from Stargate. ;)

i dont understand why they have to release a new version every year... is that really neccessary...?

They release a new version every year for what I see as multiple reasons:

* Mo Money! People whom don't know any better will open their wallets and buy it because they think their system will be at risk.

* To actually fix bugs from a prior version by rewritting the program in part, or whole. Too bad this introduces some bugs as well.

then is very sad... only thinking of making money and money... bugs are not fix in the previous version... yet they release another...

I wouldnt touch it with a ten foot pole...

unhappy with their products services...
