The first 2 videos demonstrated sessions from an ANTS Memory Profiler 5 early access build being user tested and a follow-up video showing user feedback after lots of changes had been made to improve usability etc... The 3rd video was from a usability session with the upcoming .NET Reflector Pro involving picking assemblies. The last video was from a usability session we conducted with ANTS Performance Profiler 4. As for letting things out with bugs - we know they have bugs but that's half the point really with the (very) early testing. We have crashes or things go wrong during sessions etc... but if we kept fixing lots of bugs then we vastly reduce the time we could be using to get some much more valuable feedback. Users are also extremely understanding of early access builds - they don't seem to mind at all and we often joke about how rough a build is. :) Stephen Hi Thom,

Just out of interest - any clues as to what products we were seeing? Cheers Brian, I’ve now added his name. Just out of interest – any clues as to what products we were seeing?
