>Imagine if GM said 'yea, we sometimes deliver a car without it's steering wheel (or working brakes or engines or transmissions or whatever) because it was just too complicated to get it there on time that time'.

Car manufacturers do that all the time. Which is why people say never to by a car the first year it's introduced. The Dodge Durango had major bugs in it's first year, the power windows and trannies, they both stopped working in 3 months. What about the bug Ford had with the explorer and the tires. I think having your SUV flip over is pretty big bug. <s>

I agree with Mike, pretty much nothing is bug free. We just work around the bugs.
