Butler Lampson and Rashid are both pretty hot. Cutler got NT
to a workable state considerably faster than he got VMS to
one.
There are many computer companies that are full of Bozos,
Microsoft isn't one of them. Most of the people griping about
Microsoft can't code any better.
I'm interested that Navigator 3b6 crashes several times daily
while Internet Explorer has yet to crash on me. I couldn't
care less about fancy features, at this stage I want a browser
that is reliable - like they used to be.

Depends. If it's media, then you are correct. If it's technical, then
you're not. The biggest complaints about MS I hear come from people that
actually know what they are talking about and are damn good at it.

This is why it's called a "Beta" Phill...
As for reliable, there is no such thing... there is only MTBF.
