Not at all - but the context is documentation, and there I think MS tend to do

probably MS aren't actually relevant at all :)
But whilst on that subject - I suspect MS just don't care; they know exactly
how little they can get away with in terms of sorting out problems with their
software. If not enough people complain then it doesn't get fixed, simple as
that :-(

To make it on topic, I've found exactly the
same thing with classic computers
- with something that sold tens of thousands or more the bugs tend to get
ironed out; with something that hardly sold at all there can be all sorts of
errors. (that seems to be tied to the machine class though - e.g. mainframe
designers *know* that they won't sell many, so they set aside time to get the
service docs right and that gets reflected in the cost)
A reasonable assumption. BUT,... by that logic, Windoze is bug-free??
