Allen also oversees http://thehotfix.net/.<br />n<br />nAllen said the Vista team discovered the bug, which "would totally crash the system, requiring a complete reinstall," in Vista Build 5824 on Friday, Oct. 13. The team fixed the bug a week later in Vista Build 5840, he said, but it delayed the delivery of the OS to PC makers.</blockquote><br />n<br />nVista looks to me like its going to be a big problem for Bill Gates.
