[ANN] Release 9.0.4 RC-1

[Lagi Pittas]

The problem is they are NOT eating their own "Dog Food" (that's the cleaner
Microsoft way of saying it - I am a bit more uncouth).

I'm wondering if they are using the IDE and  coding on a windows machine
(not just with Visual Studio),  or if they are maybe
the machine has only has the development tools on and nothing else.

This is the real world and we use real PCs with windows and lots of other
stuff - warts and all. I do have a couple of Macs but my bread and butter
is windows.

Can the mothership (Panos?) you confirm someone (hopefully more than 1)
has   actually  tested the IDE/programming system real-world on a battle
hardened 4/8G I3/I5 NON SSD  with windows 7 and 10 and not just an I8 SSD
Mac with 16G of RAM  staright out of the box?

Unless that happens we will be getting these slowdowns/crashes etc and for
a newbie "You'll never get a chance to make a good first impression"
