They are fixing 250 issues per month more than the 500 they find, so at the current rate with weekly releases they would be around 0 bugs in 6 months.

I don't see why they can't develop vb5 and vb4 at the same time, don't they have a couple dozen developers??
It's amazing how 3 guys can pump out an awesome script that is virtually bug free, yet a whole team of vbulleitn devs can't do two things at once.
