As long as software behavior matched the docs, it is *not* a bug
Microsoft Excel "bug":
power is left to right ? 2^3^4 == (2^3)^4
unary minus is "sticky": -2^3 == (-2)^3
Even "stick" to cells: -A1^2 == A1^2
Microsoft response ? This behaviour is by design of Microsoft Excel ...
Bill Gates take on Microsoft bugs:
FOCUS: But there are bugs in any version which people would really like to have fixed.
Gates:: No! There are no significant bugs in our released software that any significant number of users want fixed.
FOCUS: Oh, my God. I always get mad at my computer if MS Word swallows the page numbers of a document which I printed a couple of times with page numbers. If I complain to anybody they say "Well, upgrade from version 5.11 to 6.0".
Gates:: No! If you really think there's a bug you should report a bug. Maybe you're not using it properly. Have you ever considered that?
