Two questions before I upgrade...[dropped features & beta-testing]

Two questions that I hope the Cakewalk guys can chime in on:

1. I've watched the webinar and have been reading about the new features and tools in X2 and they all look great.  However, I'm sure that many of us recall being pretty ticked off about some of the unexpected changes when X1 was released, particularly the loss of separate TV and PRV snap settings when X1 was initially released, a bad move that was remedied several months later.  I really don't want any more of those types of surprises.  So, what features or tools currently in X1 have been removed from X2?  Are there any tools that we currently take for granted in our daily workflow that will be lost?  I've already noted that there will be no more official support for XP and that Guitar Rig LE has been dropped in lieu of Overloud TH and I'm fine with those.  But, are there any undisclosed streamlining "surprises" in store that we should be aware of?

2. How was the beta-testing program improved, if at all, compared to the release of X1?  I just want to be confident, should I decide to be an early adopter, that Cakewalk made some honest attempts to improve the beta-testing and minimize the risk that X2 v1.00 will be released full of show-stopping bugs.

Thanks!

That's cool, but the only stupid questions are the ones not asked, right?  

Besides, I give Cakewalk more credit for their openness in answering these types of questions than I give to other software companies, so I'm willing to bet that one of them will give a satisfactory response.

Agreed. Hope you did not interpret my response as implying your questions were stupid.

Naw, of course not - I know you better than that!
