Would like to buy/learn/use MoI.
Cost wise, I'm not sure if it would be better for me to wait until v3 is available.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you for your work.

Hi Larry, I asked the very same question 5 months ago, and was told then that the next release is not expected until sometime after the 1st quarter of 2013, so it depends on how long you are willing to wait for the next stable release, which is pretty stable as it is.

My own thoughts on this would be, grab the stable one now, learn it and get free access to the beta, that way you get to learn the new features that are coming up, and then, if you use MoI commercially, you have a head start on those who wait and then invest time in learning those new features that you should have mastered by then.

Horses for courses really ...

Good.

Thank you Sir for your sound advice and that projected v3 release date!
Thinking I'll get started now as you say and get the jump.

Hi Larry yeah MoI v3 is not imminent, it's still something like 4 to 6 months away, it's hard to know exactly.

A lot of people think that because there is a v3 beta that means the final is going to be released soon, but that's not really the case, I put out a beta release as soon as there are any new features at all to test so just because there is a beta does not mean that the final release is just around the corner...

Yes, wonderful ingredients still to add to the soup - so it needs good time and must simmer to perfection. ;-) Mmmmmm.... savory 'N-sided' perfection...

V3 is not really a beta... It's more of a Charlie, or a Delta. Just buy it now and start using V3.
