Even if that were possible, this would be too blatant a bug to have slipped through QA.
This is Microsoft QA we are talking about here..... Vista slipped through that QA.

To help ensure a great user experience, Microsoft has performed exhaustive testing to determine which SD cards perform well with Windows Phone 7 devices....
Is frying SD cards that don't "perform well" with Windows Phone 7 going to contribute to that great user experience?
But what appears to have fried our card is the fact that any card inserted into a Windows Phone 7 device "will no longer be readable or writable on any other devices such as computers, cameras, printers, and so on" according to documentation on Samsung's site -- including, amazingly, the ability to format the card.
Sounds like the card is being "permanently modified" (and not for the better) to me.

But your point it taken. A wider interpretation of the word mistake can take into account the full timeline of an event or action.
IE6 is estimated to have roughly 16% of browser market share, and due to mistakes in the past it may never truly die."
I do not think they were "mistakes" in the past. On the contrary, they were conscious decisions on Microsoft's part to make IE6 incompatible, thus making developers write pages for IE6 (~runs better on IE6~). It was Microsoft's attempt to kill non-Microsoft web standards.
Now Microsoft is haunted by their own strategy.
Every discussion about IPv4 address exhaustion prompts comments about whether Apple (or MIT, or UCB, or whoever) needs all of those addresses
I notice how the biggest offender, Hewlett-Packard, is not mentioned. Why does HP need those
Microsoft, in its recent press efforts, has shown it is very concerned about free and open software. So now Microsoft is trying to disguise itself as a free and open software vendor. A crack dealer will give away free samples to obtain and retain a customer......

Instead of wondering why people keep repeating the same issues over and over, perhaps it would be a better approach if Opera were to fix the issues. I had these problems on all of the 10.x versions, up to and including 10.60. It has been a problem long since version 7.
If a site isn't working it's highly unlikely to be because of Opera's JavaScript engine. It's more likely to be browser sniffing, and if you mask as Firefox these sites will start working.
That's a second problem which I didn't mention, lack of support of Opera by many web sites.
.
However, Opera has always been confined to a relatively small user-base because of one critical thing -- lack of extensions.
The reason Opera has never built up a large userbase is that it did not work on many sites that were important to perspective users. The Opera javascript engine, while fast, does not work with a lot of websites.

I did not say that Apple supports only their own proprietary standards, that statement is your mis-reading of what I wrote.
What I did say was, "Apple needs to support more of the non-Apple open codecs".

Be afraid, be very afraid.
