This is what happens when you ignore the programmers and let marketing make all the software and version decisions.
Marketing: "It's been months since we've released an update we can charge for!"
Engineer: "Well, we have been working on two very minor new features, but they're hardly worth charging for. We thought they should be shipped as a free x.1 update. We don't have the resources to implement major upgr--"
Marketing: "FREE? Art department! Front and center!"
Designer: "Sir! Yes, sir!"
Marketing: "Make a new suite of icons so we can ship a new version of the software! We have to make it distinguishable from the previous version so we can sucker more people into buying it!"
Designer: "Sir! Yes, sir!"
Marketing: "Bump version number by a whole integer. Sell! Sell! Sell!"
One of the biggest reasons Stuffit sucks is that it can't freakin open partially downloaded files. I have to keep a copy of MindExpander around and open it in Classic just to open a partially downloaded Stuffit file. I don't understand why if MindExpander from last millennia can do it Stuffit 8 can't. A dialogue that pops up and asks if you want to continue unstuffing because the file is incomplete would be great.
