Bugs In Microsoft Technical Documentation Rising

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."

Not everyone is in a position where they can install their own browser and/or extensions.
Also, why reward that kind of behavior with massive visitor count increases, used in part to determine prices when selling ad space ?

I won't be doing that at work. My Corporate IT overlords are not amused by clever subversion of their security measures. This includes running 'portable' apps in an attempt to avoid detection. BTW, here they don't avoid detection, and I would get hammered for trying. My offshore dev teams can and do use Firefox to develop IE-specific apps, and are VPN'd into our network, but they have different rules. and apparently they also get paid by the bug only if reported out of warranty. But I'm not complaining. I'm working.

ps- Not so annoying as getting Infoworld on my G1. Waiting while the ads load just to unload. Pus.
