[Am-info] Microsoft stopping "new development" for one month to fix bugs

[Sujal Shah]

Saw this on /.  Haven't had a chance to read or verify it, but I saw a
comment that was interesting in the attached forum:

--------

Gads, how ironic. Consider this prior statement from Gates:
"There are no significant bugs in our released software that any
significant number of users want fixed."
-- Bill Gates, 1995 interview in Focus Magazine (Germany)

The rest of the article [cantrip.org] is just as damning.

Like he did with the Internet, Gates just ignored bugs for as long as
possible. Once they finally became a threat, he suddenly cares. I fully
expect him to act against bugs with the same concern for interoperation,
user support, and openness that he has with all Microsoft products which
use the internet.

--------

Ironic, huh?  There are now apparently enough bugs that they require a
month of downtime to fix...
