Agreed.
As a very early adopter of that product (Day 1) -- I went through two computers, two operating systems and both the PCIe and USB3 versions of the product before I got it to work. And I still half-expect it to crash when I launch it -- although it hasn't done that for well over a year.
It was not fun and I was following their published System Requirements.
I am growing weary of companies that release products so that their customers can beta test and tell them what works and doesn't work.
Seems to be a growing trend.
Anyway, I'm going to give it a shot -- as the fallback option is purchasing yet another expensive computing platform for a process I don't perform every day.
