I am a lawyer too but I don't expect Windows to be 100% free of bugs. I also write a newspaper column on technology and write applications for use in my law practice. I expect no bugs in applications that I write and I expect it or something close to it in many specific applications that I purchase in stores but the operating system is a different story. Yes, I would like to see Windows have no bugs but the overriding technological problem is that Windows has to interface with many applications written by a huge variety of people and that makes uniformity of operation of a PC a near impossibility. What I smell here is just another obnoxious lawyer. I may be a lawyer but I certainly don't excuse the conduct of huge numbers of lawyers in trying to turn the technology world into a laboratory for frivolous lawsuits. Our courts don't have time for such foolishness and the major contribution that most lawyers have made to technology is, unfortunately, to impede its progress.
