Heh... you are quickly distracted from the main issue. List me 5 other products where is it assumed and accepted that the purchased products has flaws. Quality of software has gone downhill over the last 10 years or so, but only slightly each year. The change is so small that it becomes unnoticed and accepted as new norm. You have to look back several year to see the difference. Yes, complexity of software is increasing and with it the amount of flaws. But complexity of hardware is increasing as well, and hardware is designed by humans too. Why does the industry manage to turn out relative good quality hardware? Because it's a pain in the ass to fix a broken hardware product. With software you don't have this pain factor, so it has become accepted to sell flawed software products and then fix it later. That burden of fixing the flawed product is now on the consumer, not the producer. That's what's wrong. The producer should fix the problem, not you. Is that clearer now?
