I got the design suite ver 11.0 yesterday.
This is my experience so far:
Please add to this thread if you have any other observations.

Well, I turned design rule check to 'Check on action end' and 'Ask for confirmation' and I haven't had a crashes of UB since.

I heven't checked the UB stability issue on another computer yet. I have it on my laptop, but would normally rather work on my big dual screen station.
I'm sure the others issues are on all installs as they have been in the past and are just the way it works.
Do you turn on all net names in your schematics? If you do I would be surprised if you didn't have problems with them being a big mess. Being able to fine adjust the positions like you can with refdes and other text objects would really help making the schematic presentable.

OK, I've got a new one.

Well, I updated my video drivers (nVidia GeForce 8600 GTS, real video card) and it doesn't seem to crash anymore with the tests I made. Drivers weren't that old. That restores some confidence in V11.0.
I did not have any problems on my laptop (integrated video, shared mem? not sure) either, though I did have real time checking turned off when I was working on that.
I also have now played a bit with simulations and the grapher. The V11.0 grapher is way nicer. I like it.
Here is also a small file with net names. Not quite useless but close. You should be able to see how moving the netnames around is on a coarser grid than for other objects, like ref des, labels, or plain text. Makes for a mess with tight circuits. I don't see why my small circuit should be any different than any other MS design file you already have, but give it a shot.
I just found out the forum does not yet recognize .ms11 files for attachment. I renamed it to .ms10. Rename it back to .ms11 after you save it.
