  • How come someone outside of Microsoft has to maintain the bug registry? Shouldn't Microsoft do this a la Sun's Java Bug Parade? Or don't they think there are any real bugs which people have problems with ?

  • Its an "unofficial" registry of bugs. Surely MS has a bug tracking system in place but its private to the best of my knowledge and the list of fixed bug(s) is released only after a public release of a patch or service pack.

  • But a list of fixed bugs is of no use to us right now when we are encountering them (don't ask me to name one, that's not the point:) ). It's no good telling us there was a bug and it was fixed after we may have been working around them for weeks and weeks.



    Sorry to be 'having a go' at you, it's a bit of a raw nerve ;)
