It has to be understood that any software's first release is going to
be buggy.  While Microsoft releases major versions and then slowly
updates them, Linux vendors tend to release major versions and then
release minor versions as updates.  Any .0 release is going to have
issues and that is why it is generally recommended to wait for .1's,
although I generally wait for .3's.
