Here are some bugs that I found.
I developed an application using Office 97 and Access 97, using VB 6. When Office 2000 came out, they (Microsoft) changed the data access stuff, which killed my program. But an upgrade to the Windows DAO corrected that.
We developed another application, using VB 4 in the early 90s. We tested it for the Millenium bug and discovered that it did not work past Jan 1, 2000 or on any leap year past that. So we redeveloped the code to watch for these key dates and make the correction ourself. This again, was clearly a Microsoft shortcoming.
I upgraded a computer to Windows XP with an internal Zip drive. After getting all updates, the IOMEGA WARE software caused the computer to crash. Since we wanted Windows XP more than IOMEGA WARE, we threw away the old Zip drive, and began using CD-R media for backups. The fix provided my Iomega did not work. Their support was non-existent.
I was using an older Kodak digital camera with their Easy Share Photo software on a Windows 2000 computer. After getting Windows Updates, the Easy Share program stopped working. To fix this, we reinstalled Windows 2000 and did not download the updates. At some point, we will get a new camera, so we can download Windows Updates again.
There are countless examples, where downloading updates can stop functional software from working. Who is to blame? It simply does not matter; it has quit working; and all you want is a FIX. So be very careful when you ADD new software to your computer, or perform updates. Personally, I do not recommend that a novice user participate in a BETA test program, unless they have a secondary machine to do it on. Your primary rig should be left in a working condition at all times.

Hardware or software bugs?
A bug is an unexpected reaction to a normal request. Software bugs are mostly caused by lazy programers.

If a program doesn't work the way it should, the problem is called a bug.
