Windows XP, another 1.0 product win. Windows NT 3.5, another first release win.

XP was so wonderful that you have to download over 17MB of product fixes. NT started at v3.1, not 3.5. And the service packs to take it to a STABLE release also known as 3.51 are not small.

Product "fixes" are a fact of life including Linux and Solaris. I seem to recall in every UNIX shop I have been that "patches" were being applied daily. If MS didn't provide them, would you then say that MS didn't care?
