If TI tested 3.2, wouldn't it be apparent on some level that it is much slower than 3.1.  And if that is true, does that indicate that TI doesn't do much testing but counts on the customer to find their screw ups for them, for free of course.  That's the only way I can understand why the os updates are constantly flawed, and I wonder how math teachers have time to do things like develope lesson plans when they are constantly reacting to new os bugs and other hardware issues if they use nspires to teach.     
The thing is, TI let's many teachers beta test the software so I have no idea how this could not be noticed. Anyway, you are right. They shouldn't depend on teachers/others to test it.

Since TI allows down grading from 3.2 back to 3.1, which I think is uncharacteristic for TI, that suggests to me that perhaps they knew about the speed problem and chose not to fix it and/or there is some other major flaw that is yet to be discovered.

I don't think they knew about it. The release was already postponed to solve some issues .. so I think they would not have released it if they knew about it.
The people (who are on a pretty high level with TI) did not know about the bug, and they already fixed some of the ones we reported.

runeazn, you have to conect the calculator and send to it the file of OS 3.1, the calculator will accept the file and install the previous OS

Anyway it's clear evident that they have not trust in their own quality assurance anymore. But still focusing on "fixing" the Ndless issue... How irresponsible and irrelevant.

Well, every company do beta tests with other people than "inside", but it's still very bad for the image hat bugs like that didn't get fixed in time.

That such major bugs as the slowness were not discovered, or fixed before the release, means that their beta-testing is severely inadequate, and/or that they don't care.

They care only for the next release, as if the beta testing is here to write in advance the roadmap for the next OS -_-

Yes. And that surely means incompetent management.  It seems clear that the high level management doesn't have the Engineering Background from which to direct the Software People properly.  Considering the big spin and sales effort, I have to believe that management lacks integrity and likely believes that spin and strategy, and not a great product is the key to sucess.  Makes me feel very comfortable to use their products.

Well I think you're going too far with unproven conclusions about many people from simple/small facts based on an update.
But we won't argue that here, it's quite pointless.
