PJC in a thread below has a link to a Kansas city Business Journal.

the Story is about Microsoft 95,98,NT being NON-compliant along with 486s etc. The author of the story goes onto comment on how 1 out of 5 comp. that he has worked on will fail. And he mentions the patches from Microsoft.

Please --kind members of this forum --assist me in a moment of lucidity and confirm that: Bill Gates is A multi-billionaire solely based on the enormity of market share he has gleaned with his software. (Global)

How ironic when 90% plus of the software that we use goes haywire in about 3 weeks. Any thoughts on the possibility of this.

Dump your Microsoft stock. Oh, wait, no one here has any stock left... hmmm, okay, be like Bill Gates, invest in silver....

Look, people EXPECT things to go wrong with software. Have you read the typical "warranty" for most software packages? It's not a warranty at all, it's a disclaimer.

Go ahead and bring a class action suit against Microsoft. Bill has more lawyers on retainer than there are judges to oversee the cases. Microsoft is - de facto - above the law, and don't start on the trust case. It'll be years before anything comes of that, by which time Microsoft can claim the market has changed, and it goes back to square 1.
