If you don't try to test until everything is correct, you will suffer later. My testing finds A LOT. As close to everything as I'm likely to get.
I said Apple's experience designing and testing hardware and software is an advantage they have over MS. I don't see that as "bashing MS." They both make mistakes, but so do I.

I'm not disagreeing with you that extensive testing is a must. Of course it is. But ensuring that "everything is correct", while an admirable goal, isn't really possible with current technology for a nontrivial program. You can only try to get as close to it as you can. I'm sorry, but bashing MS over this while praising Apple assumes that Apple finds all bugs in all third-party components, and I think I can pretty well assure you that it doesn't. They don't even find all of the bugs in their own software. No one does. You can say that Apple does a better job, and that is probably correct. But they aren't perfect, which makes me think that the MS-bashing over this is rather hypocritical. ************************************************************************ * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** ************************************************************************ * ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
