Well, not sticking up for anyone, but when I used to work for a company, and we released our new Word Processor for Beta testing in house, after six months of hard work, there were 256 bugs, on the 17,000 computers tested. We fixed all but 11 within three weeks. Those 11 got shipped with the Word Processor, for which we put out a patch later.
As a programmer you really never know what is going to break the software until it happens. The real problem gets you when you patch something and then that patch breaks the system for others.
Trust me when I say I burned out after four years and got out of that job. No way would I want to be in e-On's shoes.
