It begs the question,
How can this be so if they had 750,000 testers, so many tens of
millions spent in R&D and all the latest ultra-tech gizmos for testing and 
evaluating conditions in software?

The old adage that "computer science will always have bugs" (or some trite)
is just a lame excuse.  AFAIK there is nothing imprecise or unpredictable 
about computer programming except the people doing it....

I thought I heard the other day but cannot confirm that this 
announcement actually caused a dip in the DJIA.
I always knew Steve Ballmer was a lunatic....
