Here's the beginning:

``As long as there has been software, there has been a software quality 
problem. Software continues to be less reliable than hardware, and may
even be getting worse, at least for PC and Web software. Programmers
seek solutions to making software more reliable and closer to what the
users want.

The "soft", flexible nature of software encourages infinite demands upon
it - adding dozens of new features before the old ones are working. And
each new advance in software engineering and hardware just increases the
demands.'' --Bob Green
