    Just because they SAY they'll fix them, doesn't mean they will.  I would
be very surprised if they fix even 10% of them.  They know it'll sell even
with the bugs, so what's their modivation?

    I remember the days of DOS 6, which could boot in < 0.5 seconds.  (Issue
"int 0x19" and you'd have a prompt back in less than a second).
