being a programmer aswell, I disagree.
Software is expected to have bugs, but no company whose product people paid for, uses them as beta testers.
Example:
you would expect google chrome to launch betas and frequent updates, but if MS released a beta of IE, no one would use it, because It’s not free (remember, you paid for windows.) and I shouldn’t beta test something I’ve paid for.
when we had a big bug (like the mp4 sync issue), we would stay late and correct it, or, completely remove the feature until it’s fixed. 2+2=4. you either get 100% or 0% because half working shoudn’t exist.
but firmwares are a bit different, I agree.
