Re: Right, or wrong?

Gates doesn't have bugs... He has Features!  ;-)

My 2 cents?  Anyone trying to sell a bug to the vendor with the problem is
extortion.  Feel free to sell it to others, but only AFTER giving the vendor
a chance to fix it.  If the vendor ignores you then that's what FD is all
about... but please lets be responsible out there!
