Interesting Gates interview about bugs in MS software

software / By

I knew this before, as it has been stated by marketing zombies at the Redmond company, but its the first time I have seen it states as blunt as in this interview with Mr. Gates himself. Basically: Microsoft does not release software to fix bugs. Many people would argue they don’t fix bugs at all, and after reading this interview, I would say that Mr. Gates all but confirms that. FOCUS Magazine Interview with Bill Gates: Microsoft Code Has No Bugs FOCUS: But there are bugs an any version which […]

NameProtect – NPBot

So

Later it would turn into a “Flash blog” because of my interest in Flash. after all I was working in one of Norway’s leading flash design/development companies and at the same time one of the editors

Flash or politics?

9 Comments / rants and raves / By

Some Macromedian bloggers has raised the issue of “Flash blogs” spamming with political content. JD started it (as far as I can tell) with his post about “Spamming aggregators“. To you John, I’d like to say: Sorry if you don’t like what I am saying, but from that to accusing me (and others) of spamming aggregators. Come on! First of all, remember that the Flash blogs are personal blogs from people investing their time and money into keeping the community informed on what is going on — they are not
