I can't tell you how many times I have heard that these types of things NEVER happen in open source (ala Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris).

I think you're making that up.

One of the big 'plusses' of open-source is that bugs get fixed more quickly.

No one would *ever* say that open-source never makes buggy software. I don't believe anyone said that. We tout how *fast* we fix bugs. If there were no bugs to begin with, we couldn't be so good at fixing them. And the real story here is how so many companies worked on fixes so quickly.

I'm guessing you just misunderstood . . .

Nope, in fact I have heard it so much that it makes me want to vomit.

Didn't happen here. I tend to disagree with this. I think MS has just as much incentive to fix a bug as does the open source community. No one looks good with "open doors" to the OS be it Linux or Windows.

Another example of your reality disconnect, Dominic. Yeah, it's all our imagination. Nobody ever says that these things don't happen in open source projects. Ever visit Slashdot.org?
