Hello antoninn,
perhaps it is more pointed to my strange demands of the quality from products, more plain related to my standpoint or
that I am a realist, perhaps all together make me looking as an even being critic or a small censor.
But mostly I think it is only related to my bad English and I am mostly have to say sorry after some discussions
causing that I am not able to hit the real point directly likes you others are able to do.
As you was explaining it by your self, that it can be a pain to solve problems and failures out, for sure I must really consider without any excuses, but here in this case I think more then only one of this point are coming together
and this is bringing the right smell in this case.
I think Mikrotik tries to enter “enterprise” league but with old-fashioned way
I hope not, but if so, then we all have to pay also the enterprise prices!
For sure if you be willing to pay ~5000 € and wait until June or August 2013 when this device should be launched and
able to buy, for sure perhaps it should the right way and Mikrotik have to think about.
From my point of view - THIS IS NOT the way how to bring powerful flagship router to users.
For sure I don´t want to turn you away from your stand point or point of view, but crying is also in my eyes not a real
solution. And pending of the number of employees working at MikroTik and/or the given capabilities that comes with the
CCR series I would point this device more against the Draytek Vigor 3900 that is is at the same price range.
For myself Mikrotik were begin the shipping of this router that some peoples are able to get their hands on, for testing proposers and taking a first look on it, the power it coming with this device, that perhaps expected things should be true or not, that this will be the right device for them or not and not a market launch for the whole masses, pronounced to be stable and production ready and also false free.
And pending on the here told support wishes and the way MikroTik is going to solve issues out and serve their clients,
perhaps those routers should be really placed to start up at the $3500 level and a license level 4 is starting at
$1500 up stairs and this makes together $5000, but then MikroTik is able to hire some more code writers and support peoples because a half year pro support is then able to buy for $600 and they are starting the market launch as the most peoples will expecting, something like one year after it was shown at a MUM. Why not trying it out? Perhaps you are really right with your meaning, for sure I will consider, if your are right with this and it helps many customers more out then now.
It was really not clearly stated that these are “pre-production” devices and what level of functionality is expected at all in the beginning.
Please read this first two posts at this side by recognizing the date, shown under the link in the next line.

User “asaleh75” was asking and normis was answering.
But I really think the CCR series will be like a hot iron in the fire and the most Distributors were perhaps not
placing the same statement on their webpage, to inform all customers and clients.
Last but not least, I personally think that MikroTik want to be able to gives some people a first touch on it, to be able to see what kind of device comes really out, perhaps should future versions of this Tilera based devices, whatever they comes sorted with 8,9 or 100 cpu cores, as a capable SFP+ core router, for wireless management or as a real wireless controller only for some peoples directly shipped by MikroTik or even sold at the MUM to peoples how want to test
devices.
At least, like macgaiver was explaining it, should be a good solution for everyone, in whatever business they are staying.
