In the mean time, thousands of Windows systems are crashing every day around the world. That makes a few millions Windows crashes since the Ariane 5 crash. Millions of M$ Word crashes (resulting in thousands of corrupted and unusable documents, and among them a few of mine!). How many "unavailable" ATM, due to software crash? "Unavailable" Web servers? Etc... So, on a software point of view, the Ariane 5 crash is not a proof of Ada's weakness. Having *only" this event to speak about is a proof of Ada's strength. -Thierry
