The beta from 2/16/2005 is pretty buggy, and I cannot find any info on when another beta/rc/rtm will be out anywhere.

I haven't had any problems with this version, personally, though. Works like a charm.

Grumpy.

With the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, the popups stay docked.

Same problem I'm having, the wiki says it's fixed in the next version.
Thats nice, but if there will be 5-6 months (maybe years, who know) before the next release....

The problem is, that this block a few things, try dobbleclicking a .reg file to import it into the registry, thats not possible the direct way, since you have to click Allow on a popup that off, and stays off the screen.
These popups spawns as new processes, which means that in a matter of days, there might be 10-20 of them hanging off the top of the screen, each eating about 3-5mb of memory.

Is there a special reason why there hasn't been another beta release in the past 3 months?

Because they don't think that they're ready for another beta?

This comes up almost daily on the internal "people who are interested in MSAS" email alias.  And the answer keeps coming back "We're not ready yet, give us time".

My only complaint is that I can't figure out how to tell it to not allow quicktime to add itself to my startup.

Other than that, it works peachy!

Good Job, Guys!

For some reason I can't see the main user interface. Only the top menu and the application logo are visible.
I can still update the definitions, but running a spyware scan is not possible, the only thing I see is that blue background.
And the error.log file is full of ... errors.

Other then that and the UI needing some work (those menus) I like it.
