Laventura,

I believe this is the result of the "consumer revolution" led by Microsoft. They won and continue to win with the concept "release it to the customer NOW, no matter how buggy, and patch it later". Honestly, I don't understand why we, the consumers, put up with it, but we definitely do.

This is why I wasn't initially put away by the no audio bug once I saw the possibility for FW upgrade. When that didn't work and the product was discontinued, thus the hope for a fix is gone, I started to feel uneasy.

BTW, I'm a software architect/developer with over 20 years in the field, I know a thing or two about software. It shouldn't be the way it unfortunately is and the consumers should stop putting up with overly buggy stuff, no matter how complex the system is.

But there is always something keeping us using a buggy product...

With Outlaw, is their incredible sound and built quality for the price, which outweighs the bugs.

With Microsoft, it is too late... ;-)
