	I would have to say that it is because software has gotten more
complex, operating systems are more complex and so there is much more chance
for errors.  

	No software developers plans to ship with bugs, and most actually
believe that they come pretty close to "bug free" when it goes out the door.
However with the many different possible configurations of INITs and such, 
things get really confusing and the chances for bugs to slip through the cracks 
becomes greater.  

	Well that's my two cents...Anyone else care to comment??
