1 year is my own assumption based on the slow Mac process and stated fact that Windows will follow. They have not been able to offer a download for the several months of Mac beta. I think there must be one part time developer working on this based on the speed (again my assumption!)

I fear your assumptions are correct or even over optimistic. I think this has now surpassed the Sampletank 3 debacle At least IK did not accept pre-order until release was imminent. They are still taking pre-orders!!!!
 
The only reason you are not seeing the same sort of ****storm here is because fewer people are affected and there are no Sonoma reps coming in and fueling the flames.

It makes one wonder how they came to get into this situation. If we assume that taking the pre-order money over a year ago was not a con trick, and I am inclined to believe that it was not a deliberate con, how can a project get so hopelessly derailed at the last minute.
 
One think that springs to mind is a key programmer suddenly leaving the company and leaving a raft of poorly documented code. Another is employees deliberately lying to management to cover up problems. Whatever happend neither the customers no the companies owners can be very happy.
 
 

It's ridiculous. I bought BFD3 over a year ago, because I got tired of waiting for Drumcore 4. I really wanted Drumcore though, after owning Kitcore for a few years and really liking it. Whatever... They lost a lot of customers over this, me being one.

Two more months.       
 
EDIT:  Just to be clear, I'm stating that two more months have passed with no release.  I was not making a prediction that it would be out in two months. 

It's a good thing I have no vested interest in this...they'd be toast....

Where did you hear that?  No doubt they have bee hawking it at Musicmesse but I would take any time scale issued or alluded to by Sonoma with a large pinch of salt.

They posted an update on the their forum earlier this month that they just released beta 3 for Mac. From what I have read they have no way to offer the beta via download and they ship out USB drives. Insane. Windows port after Mac is done. No way this is out in 2 months.

No, I was stating that two more months *had passed* since the thread had been bumped last (February to April) with still no release.  
 
There's no way it's coming out in two months. I'd be a fool to state that.

Ah. That makes sense.
