RE: Bill Gates gets another blue screen in public

["Joe Pluta" <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, Booth, Roger Covey did that with BPCS back when Bill was still
in college.  The big difference is that Roger put out minimal
functionality and let the market dictate the direction of the software.
Microsoft puts out broken software.  The fact that you wave off the
hideous quality of MS products with the term "glitches" means that you,
too, have been blinded by the MS concept of "let the customer be the
alpha tester".
