Well, if you've been following the NI forums it looks like all of them almost are close, Guitar Rig and Kontact have both had posts stating the builds are nearly done, just a bug or two left.
Thing is, they've cried wolf before... By now an "Almost there" doesn't mean jack coming from them. Making promises and then not keeping them is horrible horrible business.
Like I've said before, I would rather hear from a company a 'projected' release schedule, than 'we will release a UB, when it's ready'.
I have no idea how people come to the conclusion that software is simply a matter of X amount of time? You simply cannot say, "This product will take x amount of hours!" when talking about rewriting code etc. Though having working versions on other platforms with other frameworks helps, it doesn't guarantee anything. 'Almost there' doesn't 'promise' that it will be done tomorrow.
Once again, NI have never said, "On November 11nth Guitar rig will be released, that's a promise!" NI have never publicly promised an update, they have always had a disclaimer...... what's so difficult to understand about this?
Be pissed, but realize that if you say that NI promised anything at all at a specific time, and they are 'liars', well, in fact it's you that are spreading false accusations and rumor.
For the record, I agree that NI need to devote their time to this full swing, they need to reassure the mac audience somehow that they are devoted to the platform, but three of their plug ins are UB right now, that's better than PSP for example, who just say they are 'working on it.'
You guys would probably appreciate this from the NI forums though!
