While I understand your position, current practices no longer allow that
luxury.  Users don't allow it, and top management doesn't give the time to
allow it.  If you don't provide the application quickly then your management
will just install a Windows application, bugs and all.

Subject: RE: Bill Gates gets another blue screen in public
 
Not only does management allow that, they demand it and I as a manager
expect no less from my programming staff.
 
I could never in good conscience give a buggy or incomplete
program/application to my users.
 
In addition, as was said in another post, this shows the shortcomings and
danger of relying on the Microsoft platform for your business processes.
 
To keep this somewhat on topic for the list, when was the last time you
heard of a program or application bringing down an i5/iSeries/AS/400?  I'd
venture to say never since IBM's operating system won't let an application
programmer do the kind of damage that you can do on the Windoze platform.
 
Thank you,
