Actually Dave be very carefull with that statement, your next E-Commerce
project might see you send the money to the wrong account and could be the
thing that pushes someone over the edge.....
Sorry just couldn't resist!
Anyway it is something that I have been trying to get people to see for a
long time, I have worked in the games industry long enough to know that
every game that hits the shelves has enough bugs in them to make MS products
look good. When I got into the web side of things 5 years ago, I was amazed
at the amount of so called want to be perfectionists that wanted every know
issue closed/solved. Its a known fact that tight deadlines, long hours,
marketing demands and public impatiance, see applications hit the shelves
too quick. We are all so quick to judge the likes of MS and their buggy
products however, its the public the demand it so quickly that causes the
problem in the first place.
Anyway just my $0.02 worth:-)

Don't think that there aren't bugs in these sorts of systems too. Why do you
think the space shuttle has redundant systems?
I saw an interesting book recently, the name of which escapes me, which
talked about the effect of bugs on software projects. It discussed one well
known bug which was responsible for the death of a few people - a common
X-Ray system had a software problem which would occasionally cause the
patient to receive fatal amounts of radiation! I'm very happy to know that
as a CF programmer, no matter what I do wrong in my code, no one's going to
die.
