You have a point for sure. I have written code on the iSeries that issued such messages. However I didn't put that code into production!!

I did fail to mention that the developer blamed much of the difficulties on the underlying O/S. Such phrases as 'Windows isn't consistent in it's response to this or that call so we crash will communicating with the hardware' were bought up often. So far this year we have only had the software cause one BSOD but that's still one more of those than I need to deal with while 80 or more high school girls in swim suits stand there staring at me. OK well maybe the scenery is OK but their parents are ALSO staring at me so that IS bad. :-(

Larry,

The crappy code written by the developer has _nothing_ to do with
Microsoft -- sorry. I can write just as crappy code on the iSeries. I
can make RPGxxxx errors appear all over the place, not to mention
CPFxxxx and the occasional MCHxxxx.
Granted, the barrier to entry in the PC market is so low that any schmoe
can write and release code, but you can't blame a programmer's stupidity
on MS.
