Either that statement is not worth the electrons showing it or they have some very shoddy testing and trialling criteria in my opinion.


You doubt you know anything about what you'r talking about so i wouldnt create such strong bold sentences. Arnt you seeing a paterns here, all software and hardware have bugs. This industry is relativly new, we're still learning how to perfect our processors of design and testing.

Software and i suppose hardware is compared to bridges quite a lot in the academic area. At least it was at my uni. The question, why do bridges no break down as much as software or hardware. Bridges have been built for years, and we know how to do it now. But you can compare it to software and hardware because the field is too dynamic but its still very young. We've been building bridges for hundreds and even thousands of years, yet software and hardware has only emerged in the last hundred years or less!!

Everyone acts so surprised when MS finds wholes and bugs in their software and the same goes for linux and hardware and AmigaOS, they think that all the testers in the world should be able to snuff these out. Not true.

A stable peice of software or hardware will still have bugs. Every peice of software today has bugs. You will not be able to find a peice of software or hardware without bugs. Bugs are everwhere, you'll never get rid of them, untill something fantastic and marvelous happens, like the invention of AI, but even that will be flawed because humans original wrote the first A1... I hope you liked my story. The moral is you'll never illiminate all bugs, some bugs will go by undectected. But that doesnt mean they arn't there!!!
