PTC Software
That is a question that popped in there, which I've been trying to ignore. Time for a walk.

It matters not whether the vendor is in the US or the UK, it is the same.
If such large corporates and public sector orgs cannot change things then why do you think an SME will?

From Ray-Ban sunglasses that fell apart. To software that was sold claiming to do one thing, but in fact it did not.
Even a pair of jeans 'citizens of humanity' 2nd time I'd wore them the stitching fell away.
Beware 'made in the USA'!!!

If it's a bug and they refuse to accept it is, then you veer into whether it's acceptable or not.

What is it with yanks and quality?
I would however find it unacceptable for those errors to appear once I had reported the issue and found them in a subsequent release having given them sufficient time to fix them.
