[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1032588, member: 3828"] From a user's standpoint there is no difference between a fix and a workaround. In both cases the problem doesn't appear anymore, so the user says "it's all good now. It's fixed." From an [I]engineering [/I]standpoint there is a [B][I]big [/I][/B]difference between a "fix" and a "workaround." The real fix is the only one that identifies and addresses the [B][I]root cause[/I][/B] of the problem directly and resolves it. A workaround (or band-aid) is a solution that mitigates the resulting negative consequences, but without ever resolving (or sometimes even identifying) the root cause. [/QUOTE]
