I heard first-hand years ago of a bug in VMWare that was _CPU-Level_ for the company that rolled it out in an effort to replace their PCs that had software locally installed. The failure would have been catastrophic for a company that had just replaced all its PCs. However, they hadn't shipped the old PCs away yet for destruction, and managed to keep the lights on by putting them all back out again until the problem was fixed.
