Microsoft Set to Stone Self 4546

You are yet to prove I am a liar (but bear in mind that Larry is the only Windows sidler to whom I reply). As I said earlier in a different context, just because you don't like news that I deliver (re-post rather) doesn't make me a liar.

Back to point: shame on you! A check for 2 dollars 56 cents (which is a joke by the way... 8^2) is no true reward and most people frame these checks rather than cash in.

It is merely an indicator of a state where many remain in tact, yet to be found. They require a lot of rigour due to the irreversible complexity of the system (needs a 60% re-write). A modular system need notnecessarilybe tested in its integrated form as an almighty Vista beta. Its consbreastuent parts can be exhausitively tested for boundary conditions and banged on rather hard by its implementers and testers. Think X.org or OpenSSH. These babies never ever crash on me unexpectedly.

Best wishes,

Roy
