RE: Bill Gates gets another blue screen in public

while noble, does your management allow that?  Remember, we are talking
applications, not just little report program or support program.

I'm sorry, but that makes no sense to me.  As a programmer for well over
30 years I would be ashamed to put out programs with the kind of errors in
them that Microsoft produces.  When I put a program into production I
expect it to be the best it can be.  That's not to say that my programs
never have errors or glitches in them, but I am saying that I don't
knowingly put out something that is incomplete or buggy!  That can't be
said about Microsoft - they obviously are more interested in getting the
product out the door, no matter what shape it's in!
 
Thank you,

Bill Gates has done one thing for our industry and it should not be
belittled.  The new paradigm is to get software out there for users to
touch
and feel.  Don't worry about glitches.  If the users like it, fix it.  If
they reject it, go on to something else and keep your losses small.  That
makes sense to me.

I really loved DeGroot's line about
 
> Microsoft was founded by programmers and is still run by programmers
 
 
 
Try "Founded (and still run) by LOUSY programmers"!
 
 
 
Can you imagine if the software for the Apollo program were written by
 
Microsloth, instead of by MIT's finest minds? All those "1201 program
 
alarms" probably would have LITERALLY crashed the Lunar Module.
