A claim has been made that an internal memo @M$FT indicates
a rather large number of "issues" exists with a product
its vendor touts as the most tested and most highly
reliable product in the company's history.

Furthermore the memo breaks down the "issues" into a number
of categories. Many of these issues are, no doubt, bugs.
A number of those may be significant bugs. Either way,
M$FT has been attacked from an outside source, indicating
that its claims about W2K may be so much smoke and mirrors.

If M$FT was ready to refute what would be a spurious rumor,
they shouldn't have anything to hide, should they??
