Every time Microsoft comes out with a new edition of their operating system, we at DMAC feel compelled to run a complete quality assurance cycle on the new system as both a server and a client. Not only those cases but all possible combination of clients and servers are tested. For UNIX and LINUX we wait until someone reports a bug.

Currently DMAC is checking out Unibase in the Windows 2000 and Windows ME environments. So far nothing significant has shown up. All one needs to do is check the Bugzilla listings of fixed bugs to realize that each operating system has its own personality.

The hardest part of the testing is that users call with questions for which we have no answers. All we can say is we will try to duplicate what they have found. If so, we can come up with a fix, solution, kludge, etc. for them. We spend far more time trying to duplicate problems than we do fixing problems we have documented.
