PVS 6.1 full of bugs or myths

Hi,

We recently tried PVS 6.1 and found lot of bugs in the product. Just googled for the same and found that many users were facing the same issue. Citrix released a hotfix but that will be like a full installation kit where we need to uninstall your PVS server and reinstall it with the dump inside the hotfix. Sounds like wierd.right? It would be better if they made the hotfix as PVS 6.2 rather than providing a hotfix of more that 700MB.

Hope they will resolve the issues soon in the product.
