I think the interesting part here is that MS is accepting below par
work from vendors.
It fits in exactly with what I said, they are being reactive instead
of proactive. It is also the sign of management problems.
I did a little reading of Steve Ballmers Bio and it is interesting to
say the least. Steve has been part of MS's culture since 84. Maybe
they need someone from outside to come in and shake things up?

I think the blame is being placed incorrectly. It seems that
the code in question was part of a library licensed/purchased
by MS to develop the Zune? That library functionality didn't
have enough unit tests to test for correct functionality. I
don't see any reason to believe that MS should conduct
additional unit tests on a purchased library. This is poor
code QA from the original developer, not MS.
