I've heard MS found bugs in the hardware, so it was probably a good decision.

- kryptiskt 12y agoI remember when Matt Dillon (of Dragonfly BSD) did the same: http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/kernel/2012-03/msg00000.html http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/kernel/2012-03/msg0... That's the result that you want after a long slog of debugging. It's not as fun to dig into something for 12h and finally find a misplaced parenthesis.
- ableal 12y ago"I'm pretty stoked... it isn't every day that a guy like me gets to find an honest-to-god hardware bug in a major cpu!" I find Matt Dillon's enthusiasm and humbleness admirable. He's been active for donkey's years, pumping out stuff since the days of comp.os.amiga (if memory serves), and created his own filesystem and BSD distro, AFAIK not out of vanity but to do and share research. People like him should get more public recognition.
