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

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!
