I'm gonna make the safe bet that IBM's data is based upon closed source operating systems where nobody except the few people IBM allows to beta test has access to the binaries let alone the source code to the OS. Cooker is a very different animal. There will of course always be bugs after a release but to suggest that twice as many bugs are found after the release as during the development process is just not accurate in this case. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org "What upsets me is not that you lied to me, but that from now on I can no longer believe you." -- Nietzsche
