What is being put into place to insure that Microsoft actually hands over real code? I mean really. We've got legal consul that doesn't know jack about code trying to, possibly, enforce somehting that they know nothing to little about. Microsoft could hand over out of date code, partial code, bugged code, and any number of other variables on the "truth" and legal guys would be none the wiser.
Hell yes it's true. I track and map all the failures on our inventory database. I'm not too worried about the failures b/c they are all under waranty for 3 years, but still.
What is wrong here people? Well can anyone cee it? Yes! The American public, or for that matter, the world public, needs tangible evidence that it can understand! Those of us more science minded people, namely most slashdot er's, can understand such evidence or at least comprehend it's possible meanings. So this info is all good and well to us, but to others? Worthless.
In 2000 I was on the census bureau force and it was specifically stated time and time again that this years data was different in two respects. Unlike previous years, no information was going to be released to non government agencies. Secondly, this is the LAST census. Do I believe them? Would like to:)
