Upon visiting the main Maplesoft's site I found the following.

http://www.maplesoft.com/academic/students/index.aspx

MS> using Maple in your studies is a terrific way to get a head
MS> start in your career.            ^^^^^^^^

With *dozens of thousands* bugs unfixed, their number keep growing?

To call a spade a spade, a piece of sheer hype. Such a statement
sounded reasonably and sincerely 10 years ago. As of end of 2004,
it is a just a motiveless, arrogant claim directed to humbug money
out of you, me, and other 5,000,000 Maple users all over the world.

In the light of the Review based on automated environment for Maple
bugs identification, early beta release of which is coming within
counted days, the above Maplesoft's statement should obviously read

MS> using Maple in your studies is a terrible, painful, time-wasting
MS> way to get a head start in your career.

Just an example of thousands, discovered by my GEMM machine, the
genuine co-author of the Review:

Maple 9.5.1> int(z-z+z^2+z^3, z=0..1);
             int(z-z+z^2+z^3, z=0..1);
             int(z-z+z^2+z^3, z=0..1);
             int(z-z+z^2+z^3, z=0..1);
             int(z-z+z^2+z^3, z=0..1);
             int(z-z+z^2+z^3, z=0..1);
             int(z-z+z^2+z^3, z=0..1);
             int(z-z+z^2+z^3, z=0..1);
