This is a very technical article for those of you who want to sharpen up your intuition regarding how the game works, and the rather delicate process of diagnosing and fixing bugs.
The essential notion is that the developers use a high level Authoring Language, and it's pretty much the responsibility of the (third party) compiler to convert the high level code into something that will actually work on a variety of platforms, with appropriate modules downloaded depending on the client hardware and software. It's NOT a hands on operation, but rather the bugs are one step removed from the high level source code.
While there'll certainly be some bugs that don't work anywhere, most of the "obvious bugs" will be picked up during QA and Alpha testing,
For the user community, the more important categories are bugs that

For the user community, the more important categories are bugs that
- Are manifestations of unexpected user behaviors
- Are load related
- Are response time related
- Work most of the time on most systems, except for MY system .
- The programmers can avoid DOING that particular thing, for everybody
- They can turn in a bug report of their own, to the provider of the high level language
- They can provide parallel sets of (buggy) code for This, That, and None of the Above
(which is where we are, right now, with the Push Button Engine and Hardware Acceleration)

GPU or Integrated CPU/GPU: Most modern desktops boast dedicated GPUs that will significantly enhance the canvas experience by many orders of magnitude. The surprising part may be that laptops and mobile devices will also get a noticeable benefit through a new set of integrated chips.
