And you dont have to contend with bugs with MS cant fix that go
back Windows 3.1

Such as what?

Learn to program then you will find them out!


OK, I'll bite - I know how to program, but haven't yet encountered any
Windows bugs that date back to the 16-bit Windows 3.1 days. Please,
give me an example.

For a start there was 32bit code in the 16bit Windows 3.1 code,

In Enhanced Mode (which affects the operation of the OS itself, but is
not exposed in userland) and with the Win32s extensions, yes, that's
correct. So what's your point?

you can start there.

Start *where* exactly? Give me a concrete example of a bug in Windows
3.1 that exists today in Windows 8, and since you seem to be focused on
the programming aspect, give me a code sample that exposes the bug.

I'm not an unpaid bug tester, do you own (*&(&^%^£(^& research!

Hang on, you made the claim so the burden of proof falls to you, not
me. Otherwise, wear the appellation "Troll".

BTW if you are a windows programmer you might be using a recent MS
Exchange Server like say exchange 2010 from the MAPS or MSDN.

Did you know in their wisdom all emails sent from Exchange server gives
out the IP addresses of the workstations that sent the email, it wasnt
like this in Exchange 2003.

Look for this in the internet headers of the email:
x-originating-ip: [192.168.16.39]

Talk about increasing the attack vector for hackers to attack
businesses!

Here is another example of poor MS products yet they are still happy to
ship knowing hacked software in windows 8, what gives? Are they trying
to make life easier for the NSA, like Google's new "always listening"
moto-x?
