This is sci.electronics.design. We don't consider it to be a good thing
to release a designe with flaws and then to correct them in the field.
To us, sucess is a product that doesn't *need* to be fixed later.

You might also note that MS is currently gearing up to denying security
fixes to those who have pirated copies. If this only hurt the pirates
I wouldn't shed a tear for them, but many of the bugs allow an attacker
to turn a windows box into a spam-spewing zombie, and that hurts *me*.
