George Gilder in his January newsletter mentions "a record setting wild guess of 200,000 bugs" in Windows 2000. My wild guess is that his wild guess is conservative. Absolutely. To be fair, probably 300,000 of the 400,000 real bugs are trivial. Still, it's not at all unlikely that there are 25,000 high-severity bugs. --QS Edit: By the way, twister, Gilder is a man after your own heart. You know, along with Arthur Laffer, a daddy of supply-side trickle-down economics and other balderdash from the Reaganomics era. So take a gander at his January newsletter; he classes the PC with the wheel, the nuclear reactor, the railroad. Technologies that were important in their day, remain powerful today, but are of the past in terms of their world-shaping impact.
