So, however true it may be of MM's employees, it doesn't in any way
excuse them for bad mistakes like releasing FinMac 2006 with the
horrid data loss bug. It goes without saying that they didn't
*intend* to cause this problem, but they did it anyway, despite their
best intentions.
If it has ever been established that anyone at MM knew of the "data loss
bug prior" to release of the 2k6, I admit you you have a valid
arguement. However, I've not seen anything which merely suggests, much
less proves, that MM knew of the data loss bug when they shipped 2k6,
and since, based upon the number reports to the list, compared with the
number of people who use MAC's, it seems that there were configurations
where it did not occur. It's unfortunate that the bug was there, and
that it was not caught; and I'll concede that the testing protocols need
to be examined, given these circumstances. But if those who did the
testing of the product in advance did not report the bug, I don't see
that it was a mistake to release the product.
