<<How can management be blamed for some programmers who are behaving like stupid jerks?>> If management is lackadaisical or even condones such behavior, employees will always take those kinds of liberties. Microsoft has a professional reputation to uphold. If they are hiring these kinds of goofballs to crank out product, it makes me question the product. If I question the product, I question the management and company. Let's say we are talking about jet engines. If employees purposefully put in a flaw to cause engine failure on thousands of engines, are you saying that the company and it's management are not responsible for quality control? Get real. Of course, MSFT's standard course of action is to put a "bug fix" or patch out on their website. When their clients get their sites hacked and content is destroyed or $$ is stolen, they will do as they always do, "We are not responsible. We published the bug fix. If you did not install it, we are not at fault." -Bill_H
