Z. I'm truly disappointed in the integrity of SGLB this morning. To those who are not intimately familiar with the life-cycle of software development their announcement appears to imply that Deform is finished and marketable at this point. Nothing could be further from the truth. What the announcement actually says is that Deform has entered into the final (or beta) test stage in a live user's environment. Software can be tested extensively by the developer but somehow never encounters the problems that occur when it is installed off-site in a user installation. Beta software, by it's very definition will contain errors, will cause system failures, and definitely is not marketable in it's current form. Beta testing across multiple users is a lengthy process and the more complex the software the longer that process can take. My assumption, and I believe the assumption of many others here was that the Beta testing of Deform had been on-going for several months with SGLB's pilot installations. This was apparently not the case and the fact that they are just initiating the beta test stage now leads me to believe that they are many months away from being able to generate revenue with Deform
