Microsoft Code at Fault for Half of all Windows Crashes
Flamester writes "In a ZDNet Australia story, Microsoft is claiming that half of all MS Windows crashes are the fault of third party code, not their own. That is, according to Dr. Watson.
The article also goes into the 'rigor in which MS tests their products before release'. "

Goodyear. My Goodyear tires are at fault for my car horn not working... Those blasted 3rd party developers.
causes the crashes because they don't use the proper way to do things.
why?
because M$ won't tell the third parties how to do stuff so M$ looks 'better', faster and shinier!

MSCE is a ponzi scheme, passing the EIT and Prof. Engr exams are akin to passing the Bar exam but, more difficult. You don't have to have an engineering degree for say, I know several folks with physics degrees that became engineers, but it's no cake walk.

No one can take a 6 month course (i.e. MSCE) and
'Become a fully licensed civil engineer' or electrical engineer
MSCE is akin to the old Novell certification. If
you pay the company money ( MS or previously novell), take a few simple exams and you are an
MSCE......
