Most companies dont display this information as it would
appear to be a sign of weakness - contrast with open source
projects which proudly boast their bugs and problems - without
which nobody would do any work on the programs!
However, I think Splus probably has a lot fewer bugs than
the fabled 65,000 that are supposedly in Windows 2000, so
perhaps they could have a bug list on the web site with the
proud boast "64,000 fewer bugs than Windows".
Perhaps also we need an alternative Splus User Testimonial
web page. Here's the original:

Whats the betting the irregular-grid postscript output bug isnt
fixed in the next release???
