>FOCUS: But there are bugs an any version which people would really like to have fixed.

>Gates: No! There are no significant bugs in our released software that any significant number of users want fixed.

>FOCUS: Oh, my God. I always get mad at my computer if MS Word swallows the page numbers of a document which I printed a couple of times with page numbers. If I complain to anybody they say "Well, upgrade from version 5.11 to 6.0".

>Gates: No! If you really think there's a bug you should report a bug. Maybe you're not using it properly. Have you ever considered that?
