'Not really a problem for software houses'. Hmmm.......... I presume you
don't work in one?

Not wishing to preach, but as a software developer myself, I was trying to put in my 2p's worth from a point of knowledge. This software is highly complex and is made much more so by having to satisfy a bag load of requirements that might (and I emphasise 'might') be best handled in a separate version. It's just a thought - I'm sure in reality, the issues are more complex than any of us realise.

No I don't work in one I just work as unpaid beta tester for all of them ... LOL! Anyway your idea of separate versions is brilliant. But as you say we know just 1% of the real issues.

Cheers!
