    Upgrades are always free, do not worry about that. What I, and everyone else among the "complainers" want to say is that Eset makes statements without knowing whether it can fulfil them. The point is that this has happened so many times now that it begins to look like a marketing trick of sorts to keep people's interest on their product so that they can continue renewing their licenses, hence resulting in a higher sales volume. Obviously, when this thought comes to one's head, one begins to feel that Eset has been playing games with its customers for an entire year now. The feeling of being taken advantage of is not a nice one, believe me...and this is where the core of the dissatisfaction lies.

    We may all do, but what if they did release it and our computers would mess up, a bigger loss in ESETs hand then missing one release date. We should complain but not ask for free things. But again, it is "BETA" and "BETA" means that we should take caution in "buggy" software.

    I am not good at languages. Can anyone tell me its language. I'll try hard to get a translator on that and post up what it means.

    Damn, I can't do that. I would just be able to find the most common languages; Spanish, French, Portugese.. etc. Anyone know what this means in English?

    1st I think that ESET is doing wright to delay the beta "release" cause the company (may be) is taken hard work to polish not only the ESS but the new "secret" :) product "ESET Gateway"...if you saw that post at the CeBIT site, there was such article about it or common thing - I don't remember clearly.
    And 2nd - who's agree with me that ESET must do real tech. support forums where peolpe will post not only thier troubles but also can get early access for the alpha or etc. I know, the AVs are not OpenSource but such an idea may increase the interest of the mass users to the new products and decrease the beta cycle!

    Yes, i agree, and with hindsight i'm sure eset agree that giving a specific date wasnt the best move, especially considering the enthusiasm some users show on security forums for new products to play with, i mean test.

    but what is "this has happened so many times now" statement? I thought it was just that eset showcased their new suite back in 2006 at cebit, then didnt actually say much about it themselves, but members on this forum were getting quite excited about it and working themselves up into quite a frenzy over it. i dont remember eset saying, "don't worry, it will be out by the end of 2006 folks". Or did they and i missed that?

    I think if anything, they (eset mods on here) didnt actually say anything at all of relevance regarding the new suite.

    the next i heard from eset on the subject was in march when they gave the april 2nd deadline.

    i'd like to see proof of where we (nod32 license holders/fans) were dangled carrots. Not just shown carrots in a brochure like with cebit 2006, but were actually promised something that didnt materialise OTHER THAN the march 2006 statement which everyone is getting excited about here.

    Agreed. Eset should probably take all this as a compliment though! The only criticism I have of Eset / NOD32, is that the current version is 'quirky', particularly the UI and it doesn't always 'live well' with other apps - startup conflicts and a 'clunky' integration with Outlook. From that point of view Eset should have brought the product forward a long time ago. I occasionally get p*ssed off with NOD32 and go and try out a KAS trial for example. Trouble is, because NOD32 induces a real sense of 'safety' (i.e. it is a damn good AV)...I always end up reinstalling my NOD32 licences, gritting my teeth, and waiting for Eset to bring out something better. So, roll on the Beta, but in the meantime, I ain't going to trust anything else to protect me and mine.

    OK, I can understand why the e-mail I quoted was removed, but the essence of the message I will restate as I don't see that I'm breaking any rules or laws by doing that. ~ Doing that way is perfectly acceptable Jem. Regards, Menorcaman ~

    My now 'unnamed' source at ESET told me that they plan / hope to release the Beta this week. The reason for the delay is down to "ESET's perfectionist developers".

    Personally I don't have a problem with ESET's developers being perfectionists - better than releasing something 'shoddy'...

    I personally think Eset kind of has taken its customers for granted.which can probably be the reason that they quite regularly delay their product and as a matter of fact they haven't brought out a major release since 2003.

    They are very lucky to maintain a large fan following despite not making any significant product updates since more than a year or two...

    Regardless.... ESET's NOD32 is still a very Fine product. NOD32 performance is outstanding.... It isn't just "luck" that maintains a large fan following, it simply demonstrates their loyalty and satisfaction with the product.

    I have a brand shiny new Vista machine here
    with plenty of horsepower that i'd enjoy testing
    ESS on. Been running NOD32 for years and
    think very highly of it ( especially with Blackspears
    tweaking )

    So I think this is changing, last AV-Comparatives of Andreas Clementi ESET's down from Advanced+ to Advanced Level, last Virus Bulletin Test on Suse Linux ESET's Fail, detetction to zero day vulnerability ANI Exploit ESET's demonstrated poor performance, and in this thread we received information about this delay on ESS because the ESET's software developers are perfectionists (sic!).

    Sorry guys but in my opinion this is a real sense of perspective: "something is wrong on Bratislava Castles".
