So lets all agree that there is no RDBMS, heck there is no software product period, that doesn't have errors in its code.

And lets also agree that marketing departments are staffed by weasels (ask Scott Adams if you don't believe me).

And get back to banging code and solving business problems. This is all just so much meaningless fluff. Everybody gets their moment in the shade. And Orbitz's problems may just as well be poorly trained staff as anything else.
