"Just like the Corvair of years past..."
First, you need to get your facts straight. It was the Ford Pinto that had the gas tank issue...it was the FIRST version of the Corvair rolled over when pushed to its limits. That was corrected in later models, but thanks to Ralph Nader, the entire line was crucified. Obviously you're not old enough to remember both stories.

?Yes, we all have a few bugs??

Whether or not M$ releases software with known flaws is up for debate. With millions of lines of code in the programs, holes are bound to appear. The PEOPLE coding it are only human. And there was only ONE gas tank in the Pinto to fix.

Maybe we need to hold people liable for misinformation posted on this feedback page????????
