It looked much better in the screenshots. The new default style, sorry to say it, but it looks horrible imho. I had also problems with the page load. it loaded very slow to me.

as well as the video there (VB5) was super fast

Ah - good catch. Now, what does that tell us?

And once it's called gold, it's ready to be sold.

AFAIK, and certainly while I have been invloved, the label rule used by vB has been as follows ;

Alpha - only released internally, and to select Alpha Team.

Beta - released to the general public.

Since this is generally available, its been labelled a beta.

You're right, I remember that tradition. And once it's called gold, it's ready to be sold.

Should the rule not include somewhere something relating to the stability/readiness of the product? Or was it decided that something had to be released so you HAVE to call it a beta, regardless of the fact that it's really at pre-Alpha standard.

there`s not goin to be many sales for vb5 looking at the comments lol

I too am pretty disappointed in what I saw, and will hold off for a while before I upgrade. I have to have faith that this is an early beta with most features not implemented.
It must be hard being a vB developer. I'm not being sarcastic at all. I'm sure you are working very hard to produce a great product, but the responses have been clear and unanimously negative. I kind of expected that, but still it must be tough to hear.

This looks terrible.

This is considered beta, not a very early build.

Good point, I edited the post.

[craigvm]

This is quite scary. Really, really scary.

And this is supposed to be released something in the next 2.5 months? Really? In this state?

its available to buy now if you want to throw money away lol

Please keep the lawsuite out of this thread, or it will probably be closed. People will have enough to say about vB5 Connect w/o that.

Deleted.

Don't want this thread to be closed.
