Windows 7 to get 2,000 bug fixes pointed out by testers
Posted by: in Misc. Gadgets NewsMicrosoft has been a bit lax in communicating with beta testers of its Windows 7 operating system who have reported problems or bugs to the company — according to some of the testers, anyway. Well, apparently they’ve been really busy! Steven Sinofsky, senior vice president for the Windows and Windows Live Engineering Group at Microsoft, has just directly addressed the issue of bugs in a blog post, noting some pretty breathtaking figures. First, he states that over 2,000 bugs will be fixed in the release version of Win 7 because of feedback from the over 10 million downloaders of the beta OS, which ended on February 10th. Sinofsky says that at peak times in January, Microsoft was receiving one feedback report each fifteen seconds for a week straight, and has, to date, gotten over 500,000 of them. He assures testers that the company reads and considers each email and comment received. Hit the read links to find his entire post, as well as an update detailing of some of the repairs that are on the way!
