I really must stop taking any notice of the people who found problems. They must all be incompetent idiots.

For approximately 2 years I was involved in helping to develop an OS. I have never said that I was involved in writing them.

Looks like you're implying there's a difference between these 2 things. What's the difference between developing and writing exactly?

You are talking out of your backside as usual.

Right, so a forum where a few hundred (tops?) users have posted complaining about problems, on an OS that has been installed on at least 100 million computers or something?

And Windows 7 (and Windows 8 depending on whether that is also in your "rubbish list") never had any problems with Windows Update every either, right?

You'll find a hell of a lot more problems with Windows 7 than you will with Windows 8 and 10, on the internet too, so I guess that is still in Beta?

You really don't know?

...All this business about developing OSs is yet another red herring. I doubt that anyone here has done that.

I spent perhaps 10+ years in the 1960s & early 1970s writing mainframe operating systems. And for the next 10 years or so was involved with OS development for specific customers. Even in those situations where we controlled the hardware environment we had all sorts of issues getting a new release made General Release. There were quite a few heated debates about whether a new release was in a fit enough state for GR, a topic that was discussed at a Christmas dinner reunion only last month. Commercial considerations are inevitably a factor and sometimes trump technical judgement..

Exactly, money men pull the strings and determine release dates, not software developers.

Cocky and bad-mouthed to boot.

TinyMongomery is an intelligent person who respects others even when he strongly disagrees with them. In this case he and I disagree - but civilly.

On the whole I post in the same way. You have lost the right to any respect, given the bully-boy, insulting, bad-mouthed and ill-mannered way you behave, so tough.

Opine away.

Why would I?

Have you never been involved in a large software project? There's a lot more to it than coders.
