Then they don't know what they are talking about. Remember, they said the same thing for this 2.6 international upgrade and there was about 100 fixes in there. In 3.0b, there are many fixes, not all, but it do makes a difference. In our case, we were using 3.0 on Win '95 and we used to reboot about 5 to 6 times a day, now it's about 1 or 2 times per two weeks.
