:-) you make statistical survey for Pentagone or what !? :-))
ok, funny game : "Linux bug" = 9000 Hit it's a lot for an OS used by nearly
no-one except programmer and computer engineer no !? :-) have you compared
with 45.000 hit for registry bug related to the 1000.000.000 of computer
using windows. What can be your conclusion Mr The Expert !? :-)
People who get problem in the registry are people who install every crap ,
who got every virus, who play with the regedit and who tried to hack some
limited demo. i repeat it , i ve never had problem with the registry and i
never heard about this kind of problem from a client or whatever since the
Windows 3.1 (it was generally due to lack of RAM)
