Spooky Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Either interesting or dumb? Lets see, 200 million computer users in the U.S...lets say 10 % of those find a bug (and what's their qualifying definition of a 'bug' anyway and who determines if its actually a bug or not.), so we have 2 million people who find a bug...the math = 2000000 X $8000.00 = $1,600,000,000,000.00 WoW! I seriously doubt that they have that much money to lay out for something like this. Heck, all you have to do is look on the MS KB and pick out things that say "We are aware this is a problem in Vista" and then report it as a bug.

I think Gates had something around that order of magnitude... I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
