Not really. There are plenty of other examples as well. (The one that comes to mind right away is the "Vista delays prove that Microsoft's development model doesn't work" one... Um... Perl 6 anyone? Kernel 2.4 anyone?... you get my point.)

Well, the kernel-2.4 development model didn't work. That's why they changed the model for 2.6 and onwards.

That however does also seem to have issues (according to an article posted a few weeks ago on OSN), so one could claim that the 2.6 model doesn't work either.

. o O ( Actually, people could claim a lot, and often be right about half of it, and terribly wrong about the other half of their claims )
