You're an idiot. You've glommed onto this phrase "memory leak" as a talisman for your ignorance. Hint - memory leaks originate in compilers. Windows has not had a serious problem with leaks since the days of early NT 4.0 and the bad C development tools that were contemporaneous.

And here I was with this silly impression that it was perfectly possible for a human to create a memory leak with bad coding practices. Which, in fact, happens rather more than said humans would like.

As for the rest of it, well Ross, it isn't only Norm that makes us wonder what is in the water in St. Louis...
