snydeq writes "The number of bugs in technical documentation for Microsoft communication protocols continues to grow, according to court documents filed for ongoing antitrust oversight of the company in the US. Problems with the technical documentation — which includes 1,660 identified bugs as of Dec. 31, up from 1,196 bugs on Nov. 30 — remain the major complaint from lawyers representing the group of 19 states that joined the US Department of Justice's antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft. Lawyers for the states have complained repeatedly that technical documentation issues are opening faster than Microsoft can close them. Nearly 800 Microsoft employees are working on the more than 20,000 pages of technical documentation, according to the court documents filed Wednesday."

A million monkeys @ a million typewriters by Anonymous Coward · 2009-01-23 03:29 · Score: -1, Flamebait

Further proof that a million code-monkeys at a million glorified typewriters, will eventually produce something.
Through enough excrement, and some of it will actually compile, and a product will come out.
This is what Microsoft refers to as "push" technology when they "push" out a new turd, I man product.
