I have always been impressed by two issues on these forums. The first was the frequency of vituperative complaints about software bugs, which one would have suspected would have been quashed by the owners of the forum (if not the volunteers they used to moderate them) in order to avoid the negative impact on marketing. The second was the equally vehement attacks against those who were complaining about those bugs, which attacks often failed to distinguish between innocent attempts to resolve or understand an issue and malevolent slander against Cakewalk.
I must say that the impression I have from years of hanging around here is that Cakewalk products are in fact less reliable than their competitors. Perhaps that just reflects the extraordinary latitude that critics have been given on these pages. In any event I expect the fanboys will be along soon to correct that impression.
