Having said the the last couple of posts show there does seem to be something getting through, so I'll stick with it for now.
The problem is that software products are generally excluded from warranty regulations. In 2009 there was word of a European initiative to change that, but haven't heard of progress since. Presently developers can sell (license) software with as many bugs as they like, with little risk to them (except for unhappy customers).
