ok 
Guys ... I have deadlines to meet 
Sorry for not chiming in earlier, but for me, and Bens and Dwight and some others that are keeping mum, all of the frustration Oreopulos is going through happened quite some time ago, when we dowloaded the first betas ...
For what it is worth:
I have been working on real live projects in various betas of 9 for quite some months now. No crashes worth mentioning, and I have been known to crash a fork and throw coffee machines into frenzy, let alone a beta software!
It does not want more than 8.1 hardware wise. If you are up to date whatever is your platrform, it will be OK.
No, you don't see anything from outside, except Lightworks (no, NOT LightWave!) Then you start working in it ... mmmmm ... after a prolonged cursing exercise while setting up your work environment.
The last 8 projects I did are exclusively and utterly done in 9, except some of the the ArchiCigraph stuff that I had to do in 8.1 and hated every moment of it. Yes, their APIs were also included in the beta testing program.
I am the first one to scream when GS does not listen - but believe me, and this was not my first beta test, that this time they listened with their ears very wide open.
It will be very hard to demo - I already feel sorry for the sales guys out there - and the real appreciation can come only with using it. Somewhat like driving an old VW Beetle, or an old Jag - a no nonsense experience.
Jump in, the water is pleasantly cold

Yes Djordje. I know its not curses nor praises affair here, but stability of a version should be the first thing one should expect from every version.
We dont buy software to be buggy
, and if it is, its not a matter of a new version to fix thatJust one question Djordje. Dont you think that implementing 15-20 more modelling stuff and postponing the release for 5-6 months is more logical?
I know from coding a lot , and i suspect the code is pretty much object oriented, so implementing functions is not too much. If the code is the old top down approach then.....
I am "glad" you are not sattisfied either, but i wish we were both delighted.
As for sales guys, i wouldnt want to be in their position.
One suggestion to GS.
Promise 9.x in 6-8 months FREE and announce the extra features.
I dont want do be selled stability witch ought to be there in the first place.
I think the best addition to ArchiCAD 9 is the reintroduction of "AA" feature to the ArchiTalk Forum 
I'll gladly pay the upgrade fee for all of the "productivity enhancements" that don't qualify as "new features". After all production is 80% of the game (wish it were less.)
