During the risk analysis of the flaw, the consensus was: "This will have zero impact to our members as everyone knows Windows can't stay up for 6 days." I'm not kidding! This is what business people are saying about Windows. That is what happens when marketing over-rules engineering. Something similar almost happened at a local corporation. There was a minor clocking problem on a VOR module that would cause a BER of 3%. When the problem was isolated I found that the problem was from a ring (a spike on the leading or trailing edge of a digital signal that slowly settles down over the period of the wave) across a FET that could be solved with a RC circuit to delay the time just a little that it took the FET to turn on. The solution would have cost about 10 cents a card. But because of the red tape involved to change the paperwork Honeywell decided that the problem wasn't that serious. Of course I couldn't let that set (after all would you want erroneous data on your position in the air 3% of the time) the change was eventually made. Of course I was branded a troublemaker and my contract wasn't renewed (technically I was fired). Craig S. PS: When did pinhead finance majors start making engineering decisions? That is something that really bugs me.
