well it seems like version 6 is probably the most stable version yet that ive used. ( ever since 4 ) used it back on irix several years ago and it would hang atleast a few times a day. ever since then i been following the apprentice program and played around with 5.5 ( on windows ) which was rather unstable as well, the early beta of 6 was a bit better than 5.5 but would still crash every now and then for no apparent reason. ( sometimes deleting a subnet at object level would crash houdini.. but the final of 6 seems to be doign very well in the last few days. havent had 1 crash yet!! keep up the amazing work!. looks like the public beta program has paid off.

I've been using Houdini on Win2k pretty regularly since the NC version has been available. I've had houdini crash on me only once while rendering a particle simulation. Maybe I've been lucky, or maybe I happen to have just the right hardware/software environment for houdini. But I am very pleased as well, with the great features/improvements/tightening of the software.

Good job guys and gals.
