The main factor is that ED don't follow standard process.......They don't test properly and don't fix bugs before moving to new versions. That is the crux of it. What's the point of ED having a beta (open or closed) if they're not reacting and attempting to fix the issues that are identified? It's not essential to have an open beta if there is no strategy or intent behind it.......ED just push 'something' out of the door because they are always late and try to please their customers regardless of the state and bugs present......we've seen that time and time again. Further evidence of that was EDs intent to move to release in 1-2 weeks after the 2.5 open beta, they had no idea how crap and buggy the software was because they clearly hadn't tested it properly, the memory problem would have been identified internally too.

I'm not sure how you can claim 2.5 was not buggy......it was a complete and utter mess.
