Ok, I think car-computer anology is *COMPLETELY* stupid, but here comes
another ...

Nobody makes you service your car?

In all countries I lived in so far, you have to check your car at an
official service at least once a year, and somewhere once each six months to
be able to drive it. That official service should check all critical things
about your car and if something is wrong, it'll sent you to a mechanic.

I don't see that being done with computers (ie. No official service checks
your Windows every 6 months and if they are not ok, you can't use them
anymore).

I also think this thread is stupid :) But that's my opinion only.

Cheers,
