Default Release a new build or a hotfix

I have been keeping an eye on the discussion about the 1.0 build over at Wilders. I haven't looked at the Panda forum to be honest, but Wilders is good enough for me. This 1.0 build that was released back on Nov 10, 2009 is more like a RC IMO. I am not criticizing it, just going by what I have seen. It has quite a few bugs. Pbust has been alluding to releasing a hotfix (1.01) update before the 1.1 build to address a lot of these bugs, then maybe add some new functionality and more fixes to the 1.1 build. People have been anxious for the hotfix. I put together a pc with older hardware a little while back. The mobo came out of a HP Compaq with XP installed on it. I call it my retro build. I originally put Win98 on it, but couldn't get my AGP nVidia 6800xt to work right. Perhaps it was the irq assignments, or just Win98 itself I don't know. The igp worked fine though. It is an SIS mother board built about 5yrs ago. It was pretty cool when I visited the SIS site, and they had all the drivers for Win98 for that board. WinXP is way more stable though, so I can still play older games with it. I have Keiro installed for the firewall and nothing else. If Panda will go on and release this hotfix update or the new build, then I will install it on my retro pc. I won't be doing much online activity with it, so I as not very concerned with be compromised and I want my security on it to be super lite. That way I can use the resources to play my old games and reminisce.
