Rega Apollo Quirks and Software Bugs

Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

I am looking at buying a new CD player and have read the posts in the last few months regarding the Apollo CD player. It looks like that it has quite a few issues. One of them is that it is necessary to wait for initialization to finish before pressing buttons, or it may crash.
Is Rega trying to fix this? I am quite surprise that some users are happy about the work around and don't consider this as software 'bug'. But shouldn't Rega fix this problem in the latest shipments and give the current user a software update? I guess it should at least lock out the buttons (which should be very very easy to do, and it is much more acceptable to me). Why do we have to tolerate this kind of lousy software? How do we trust the company to make reliable products if they don't even check for bugs like this? (To me, software should not crash no matter what the user input is).
What do other people think?
