Software Quality

Judging the quality (or in other words, reliability) of a peice of software is not always easy when all you have to go on is its user interface. Sometimes, however, the clues just slap you in the face. For example, today Microsoft Sourcesafe presented me with the following dialog box as I tried to add the files to a new project:

Adding more than 150 files is not recommended. Windows may fail to add all selected files. Continue? Yes/No/Help

Why am I not brimming over with confidence in this tool?

Incidentally, clicking help took me to a page entitled, “Topic Not Found.”
