BIAS Peak Pro 6.0.3 (Mac OS X)
It seems that v6 is just a little more sensitive to third party add-ons than previous versions. Thanks to the excellent tech support from BIAS, we were able to solve the issues I was having, First, Default Folder (a great app in its own right) is not compatible with Peak. Adding Peak to the DF exclusion list solved the cursor problem. The crashes were caused by Hear (by Joesoft), a trail product that I thought I had removed and is a known issue. I had to run the uninstaller to get rid of it thoroughly after which everything was fine in Peak which now gets a 4 from me. I can't give it a 5 because of the bumps in the road the newly induced sensitivity caused. Still, Peak is a great app. [alert admin]

BIAS Peak Pro 6.0.3 (Mac OS X)
I have been using Peak for years and have loved it, but this version is so unstable as to be unusable. Constantly quitting unexpectedly, cursor becomes unresponsive, level meters respond before the file even reaches the waveform, most of the extra software doesn't work correctly and it is generally a huge disappointment. This despite a clean install and removal of all old preferences, etc, on a system that otherwise behaves flawlessly. If a fix is not forthcoming within days, I will be asking for a refund.

FAXstf Pro 10.8.0 (Mac OS X)
Why is this posted? A visit to the STF site will reveal that no such update is available and auto update yields the same result. This product has never worked correctly anyway so I guess this is no surprise. [alert admin]

Leopaque 2.0.1 (Mac OS X)
Do not use this. As with mzinke2 below, it completely corrupted my system while invoked. Strange window behavior, Mail badly affected. Luckily, when I reverted to translucent menu bar, the symptoms went away and I did not have to re-install Leopard, though it may be too early to know for sure. [alert admin]

HandBrake 0.7.0 (Mac OS X)
This version does not work. It rips to 99.87% then crashes leaving an unusable file every time. This same bug was present in the beta versions. This happens on any title and any computer I have tried it on, even unprotected homemade DVDs. [alert admin]

HandBrake 0.7.0-beta3 (Mac OS X)
Previous versions worked great, though with limited control options. This new version offers great options, but crashes at 99.87% creating a file that is unreadable. Infinitely repeatable on a variety of machines and disks. Unusable in this incarnation. [alert admin]

Unfortunately, this app doesn't work at all for me. It won't even launch despite repeated download and install attempts. [alert admin]

On top of all the points Lickableunix made, this program won't even install properly. IT stalls at 98% and then gives an error message that the program was not successfully installed. Attempts to use Pages result in constant crashes. Tech support has, as of yet, not been able to find the problem. I would wait for a month or two for them to get the bugs ironed out.

This should be called Bias Crash 
There is something wrong with your system. Peak is 100% stable and has been for some time on both systems that I regularly use it on.
