Many subreleases are usually a sign of many bugs. Typically, software subreleases do not have many new features. Rather, they are used for fixing what should have never needed fixing. However, we all are, afterall, human (some of us anyway ;-)). You may get some new features here and there but they are typically small. You did not mention what all of these Cubase subreleases contain. Are they full of new features or are they simply bug-fixes? I'm not trying to put down Steinberg at all as I haven't used their software in ages now. However, Emagic could release many more subreleases and that would not necessarily make things better. I, for one, prefer less releases but releases that are very stable. That way, I don't have to worry about upgrading all the time and can concentrate more on music. Also, I don't have to remember which of many subreleases had a bug fixed and which one broke it again :-) Fernando p.s. - yes, Emagic could spice up their website a bit. The Steinberg site looks cool IMHO.
