It didn't take a year for anyone to notice, it took a year until the investigation was finished and another fine was announced.
Concerning that Microsoft is a test-obsessed company, failing to test properly for an error that could cost you multiple millions is also a huge blunder. This was failing to live up to a legal oblication, not a mere bug.
- rbanffy 13y agoIt was failing with a legal obligation and trying to get away with it, hoping nobody else would notice. Do you really thing they forgot to bundle the browser selection tool?
- Argorak 13y agoQuite the opposite, I find it highly unlikely that they would gamble on an amount that equates to that size, especially as there are a number of competitors watching out. And yes, I can imagine such a failure with a build matrix as big as the one of windows. A very simple explanation would be: * QA department sits outside of europe * Department is improperly briefed (not that unlikely to happen) * Automatic tests fail (happens to the best of us)
