KEY FACT NUMBER 2
Our primary commitment is to reliability and stability, (hence the bug fix updates above). As we have stated time and again, proven and tested results and a year long track history cannot be understated or ignored. The stability and reliability of a 4th generation chip can be measured ONLY by the stability and reliability of its firmware. Teams that do not feel a need to update, while ignoring the many bugs and problems that popped up in their OS, cannot possibly claim to be stable. Naturally, with the positive history and reputation our team has achieved, there is a definite pride and a certain confidence that comes with such results.
We have invested a great deal of time, money and effort in our OS for good reason. For both proud Xenium owners and those new to the scene, it is becoming abundantly clear that reliability, stability and flexibility are key factors that consumers are looking for. A recent spate of revision after revision of one inadequate version after another, coupled with recalls and frantic re-flashes are not what consumers want, or should be subject to with any premium chip.
GO PREMIUM. GO XENIUM!
