Debugging for M$...
Why doesn't M$ debug their own software? Why are they continually asking the IT community to do it for free?

I still think there's only Gates and Ballmer in the front office at Redmond and nothing but monkeys in front of PC.s in the back room. Every thousand or so lines of code they actually produce something usable... lol.

How else do you explain a huge corporation asking the open-source community to debug their software?

Just my opinion...
