I think they are getting close. They have a beta out for a few weeks so it must be just around the corner. If you have ever been involved in a software release, and I have been involved in many both on the developer and managerial side, and now many as a distributor, the science of predicting when a product will be finalized is not certain. Often management will set a date to completion which the developers will work hard to meet, but will know in the back of their minds is impossible. This is not necessarily the case with the team at progeSOFT but in general thats the way I have experienced it. My take on the delays are that instead of them being a sign of trouble or angst, is that the team is prepping the software to meet as many tests as can possibly be run to try and work out all details of improvements to make sure there is no lingering problems. This is a good thing. If you have ever upgraded to a new version of something that was rushed out the door then you know the errors that are left in the products can be very frustrating for a user, and can cause a lot of concern for the future of development of a product. I would rather progeSOFT have progeCAD 2010 baked fully before taking it out of the oven than to bite into a half baked pie, so to speak.
