1 In 5 Vista Bugs Still Unfixed
Saturday, July 8th, 2006
Most of the unresolved bugs are from the Beta 2 time frame, one researcher says. According 
to his accounting, only about 250 of the unfixed bugs are over two months old.
Although 1 in 5 bugs logged to Microsoft’s semi public database of Windows Vista problems haven’t yet been fixed, a Windows developer and consultant who analyzed the listing said Friday that his research showed the company was quickly addressing bugs as they were submitted. Robert McLaws, who hosts the Longhorn Blogs site, fed the nearly 28,000 bug reports from the Connect site’s database open only to Microsoft-chosen beta testers into Excel. Of the 27,479 bugs (as of July 3), 5,743 remained classified as "open." The remainder had either been tagged as "closed" or "resolved."
"They have a lot of them fixed," said McLaws, "and of the ones which haven’t been fixed, most are [from the] Beta 2 timeframe." According to his accounting, only about 250 of the unfixed bugs are over two months old. (For reference, Microsoft released Vista Beta 2 in a public preview a month ago.)
"Based on the numbers [of bugs] closed, it really does look like they’re pushing for quality," McLaws added. "It proves that they’re doing a good job." InformationWeek | Windows Security | 1 In 5 Vista Bugs Still Unfixed | July 7, 2006
