I have heard people in organisations that they will put up with customers finding defects as it makes more commercial sense to release earlier and take the flak rather than wait but as desired strategy? Never!!!

BTW, I do not like the term "bug" as this terminology suggests that it is caused by something extraneous or external to the software. I know that most people who use the term don't feel this way but sometimes that is the impression left with users (and other developers). I prefer the term defect. That is what it is. Someone has created a defect in the software either through action or inaction. I, my colleagues, my peers and hobbyists (unintentionally) introduce defects and we must all accept that. It is human action that causes it not some unidentified invertebrate.
