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. - Mike -- > From: Preben Randhol > Organization: ProgramVareVerkstedet > Newsgroups: comp.lang.ada > Date: 01 Dec 1999 14:06:00 +0100 > Subject: Re: Business Week (12/6/99 issue) article on Software Quality > > "Michael P.
