Yep. However, MS is not about to create problems by fixing the

bugs tend to be perpetuated. Old bugs and sleeping dogs should be
left alone.

I sure am glad they finally fixed the simple calculator that Windows came
with. It had a major bug in it that if I remember correctly if you
substracted 3.1 from 3.11 you got zero. There were other numbers like that
also.

I think Intel had to recall a bunch of chips because of an error in the math
coprocessor part at one time.

Microsoft products are so full of 'problems' that if they ever put out an
error free product it would seem to be a mistake.
