I just wonder if anyone else is closely scrutinizing any other vendors software. But of course the list of 10,000 was never made public. Would you call that a plague. I don't unless it effects the majority of the software user population. Not the potential effect but the directly effecting the majority of the software user.
Someone finds a bug.
They call the help desk. They call the media if it s a Microsoft product. Media goes on the rampage showing the end user how to recreate the problem. User wants bug fixed even if doesn't directly effect them. You get the idea.
