Microsoft Code at Fault for Half of all Windows Crashes

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the thats-a-lotta-crashes dept.

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'. "

  1. Ponzi Scheme my butt by big-giant-head · · Score: 1, Troll

    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......

    Which means you spend all day reading the MS site and applying patches to buggy and unsecure software.
