I can foresee what would happen if software companies were forced to produce 'bug free' software...........they would decide who's machines to exclusively write software for -lets say DELL- and then very quickly DELL's market share would become a near monopoly and the guarantee would become invalid if we were to upgrade our own hardware.......is
that a situation we want?
