QL- I guess we can take your WORD on that!

BTW- This mornings ZDNet News opened my eyeballs especially quickly- NOT a good omen for Win2000!

According to the Microsoft memo, the Windows 2000 source-code base contains:

More than 21,000 "postponed" bugs, an indeterminate number of which Microsoft is characterizing as "real problems." Others are requests for new functionality, and others reflect "plain confusion as to how something is supposed to work."

More than 27,000 "BugBug" comments. These are usually notes to developers to make something work better or more efficiently. According to Microsoft, they tend to represent "unfinished work" or "long-forgotten problems."

Overall, there are more than 65,000 "potential issues" that could emerge as problems, as discovered by Microsoft's Prefix tool. Microsoft is estimating that 28,000 of these are likely to be "real" problems.
