But, of course!  This statement verifies Gates' mindset that he wants extra
money to do bugfixes.  This is the company that charges money for betas.

Gates and his thugs have no pride to meet high quality standards, or "best

businesses can arguably complain (and probably threaten somehow) about
their software bugs as opposed to "features".

His tawdry business methods have set the computer industry back at least
10 years.  It would seem that MS have led the way to lower today's corporate 
financial integrity, too.
