Oh yeah. He often flies 3000 miles, in his private jet of course, just to
take me to Burger King. He even lets me get fries with my Whopper Jr.

Hey Big Spender!

I'd just like to point out as a beta tester for Microsoft products (such as
Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 R2, and Windows Vista as well as Windows
Live Messenger) that alot of time and effort is put in not only by beta
testers and Microsoft Partners by filing bugs, even more time is put in by
the dedicated Microsoft employees and software test engineers to reproduce
and correct the bugs. There is also alot of regression testing, for instance
Fix B could break Fix A, and therefore more testing is required to go back
and have both Fix A and Fix B working correctly. This happens also with
hotfixes and updates.

Hint for the future - don't reply to idiots. They bring you down to their
level and then beat you with experience.
