When I worked there, they would announce things that were full of bugs and then work really hard to clean them up on time. Sometimes, that just couldn't happen and they had to slip their release dates.

They'll fix the problems and release them in a week or so, I think.

They also announce things that aren't written yet and then have to slip their release dates (Longhorn anyone?)

It now plans to issue four security bulletins on Tuesday, rather than the eight originally announced, the software giant said last week in an updated notice on its Web site.

The four mentioned were actually features mistakenly 'corrected'.

That must be how they say it's cool in bizarro France or is it slang, like U.S. kids might say, "that's sick", or something. Wed, 10 Jan 2007 16:43:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Sphinx) Comments
