Thing is, it's all well and good for you to plan on fixing the bugs - but there are a great number of bugs that WE can't fix, because it'd break existing apps.
in this case you did "The Wrong Thing [TM]" and the only "Right Thing[TM]" to do is start over...
yea it sucks, and will hurt you in the checkbook but this will fix the bugs and make better software etc. example linux moved from glib5 to 6 this broke alot of programs but it was the right thing to do, it fixed bugs and made the software better, (in the end).
M$'s main problem isnt just all the bugs it's how they write software. ie "you are a USER and we are the PROGRAMMERS. and the PROGRAMMER knows what is best for the USER. USERS are dumb us PROGRAMMERS will fix the bugs when we feel like it, or the USER pays extra for it." ( i dont know if M$ really trys to make users of their software feel this way, just my feeling after using there software for years and years, then trying linux and liking the relationship i can have with a develper of an app. )

with civ3 for and Q3 what need do i have for more games? this are IMHO the best of there kind. and in Q3's case if anyone uses the engine for another game most of the porting is done so we most likely will some more FPS's... ( not that we need more then Q3, well maybe Tribles) all that im saying is that civ3 and Q3 rock and if we dont get more game linux will still gamers platform cause we got some of the best games out there. although more games of diffrent types we be nice.:)

It is not the fault of the West that the third-world poor are poor. And simply building them internet connection, while a noble goal, is not going to solve the problem.
Here is some info on US "helping" of the third-world...
have you read "R. Buckminster Fuller on Education" ISBN 0-87023-276-2 ?
it's a bunch of his essays and talks. in it he talks about two-way tv...ie the internet. its a good read. IMHO i would start with "Spaceship Earth" as an intro to Fullerain thought.
