You obviously haven't taken a look at the crap that's come out of Microsoft recently. For a company that is supposedly setting the standard, they sure are setting a bad example.

At over 6,000 bugs, it had several times the number of the previous record holder, dBase IV. Ashton-Tate is no longer around; we should be so lucky with Microsoft.
