I was stupid enough to buy 8, and even dumber when I actually uninstalled 7 and upgraded to 8 in the middle of a project!
The thing is so slick, though, that I keep going back to it. I put it on another computer where I could copy over projects and play with it, and the betas coming out in their tech support forum are getting marginally better.
The sexiest feature is the inline DVD authoring. Unfortunately like everything else that is broken too.
Pinnacle has a long history of throwing useless software over the wall, and letting the users debug it. No need to have any expensive testing or quality control that way.
It worked like a charm for them with 7, and I am betting 8 will be nice and solid soon too. The tech support forum is funnier than GFY; people are so pissed off at the endless file corruption and crashes they are flaming the techs there.
S.T.
