Except for 10.4. Very buggy on release, particularly networking.
10.4.1 was released just a couple of weeks later.

Makes no sense to me. I'm using it with no problems. Most people
will switch to it around SP1 release.

I don't think any of those fit the bill since he said "non-software

Should Ubisoft be on your list though? I obviously haven't played all their
games but I've always thought they've had a pretty good track record. I
think you should have replaced Ubi with EA.

I don't recall ever stating that a launched product should be bug-free, I
just said better. Although MS has had some pretty big bug blunders.
