I am really sick of waiting
Ok, so if you had gotten 2.0 BETA yesterday, and it broke your USB support, how would you feel. Or if you had it a few months back, and all of a sudden your music partition was gone... I'm afraid of how many people here would download beta software, then turn around and curse the company for any problems. It's probably why empeg went to a hand picked alpha team for 2.0 instead of releasing build after build to us here.
Had empeg long ago just said that 1.03 is it, many people here would be happy. Then, even if 2.0 came out with no notice, people would have been plesently suprised. I'm really hoping 2.0 comes out soon, but I don't fault empeg for the delays. They were nice enough to give us sneak peaks at what is in the pipeline, and I appreciated that. While I have been impatient with the release somewhat due to all the hype and anticipation built up here, it has never turned to a negative thought.
