Paradise of Codes

What is happening to our world? Microsoft is paying attention to the quality of their codes? What is next, U.S. giving up nuclear arms? China embraces open political discussion? Hell freezes over? It is going to be difficult for us all, actually being the end user rather than quality control testers. But then, if they do come up with a bug free and secure Longhorn/Vista, who is going to buy their next version? The only reason most people bought XP was because they believe that it is less buggy and more secure than what they had. And now, as XP proved to be not that much of an improvement, millions of people are panting for a new release. Bill Gate does not seem to be so stupid that he would offer something that would damage his future earnings. So, in the end, I am betting that the world is not going to change and Vista is going to need patches almost daily. After all no one knows better than Billy that money does not grow on perfect codes.
