VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE r10077 FOR HP PRIME UPDATE

Do you know how big the team is? How many software engineers are working every day 8 hours a day to keep the Prime bug free? HP is a very big company, but it takes nearly a year for the last update! For HP it must be possible with a full team with enough people to make the Prime bugs free in one month, I think. But, when the team is just a few people working a few hours a week on the Prime? Works all team members for HP? Maybe HP can say it.

The team is probably quite small to deliver this kind of improvements over a year. This could be bad in terms of being disposable as a business for HP. In my opinion, younger people will not even consider the idea of having a "single purpose" device like a graphical calculator in the future if this is not enforced directly by the educational system.

Maybe is time to think different strategies, offloading the overhead by opening the languages and other components may seem like a good idea to keep the world of calculators alive.
