Preben-
The article you cite is from the on-line version of Business Week
International. The text seems to be mostly the same as the US print version,
but it is missing a "sidebar" (or in this case "top bar") which shows a
timeline of the costliest software failures from January 1998 through
November 1999. There are some real whoppers in the list (billion dollar NASA
satellites lost, commercial satellite losses due to software-induced rocket
failures, system failures at Charles Schwab, etc.). The article on Watts
Humphrey is also missing.
