You will see, they will change both laws and expectations, to say its normal for software to always have terrible bugs. You can always solve a problem by lowering your expectations. :-)


No laws are needed. We already have oligopolies. Don't like the buggy software? Go to the only other competitor who also has buggy software.

FFS, we're living in a world where Linux has more than doubled in popularity mainly due to Microsoft actively fleecing their customers. It's crazy

What law says software may not have bugs?!


Not explicitly laws, but like contracts, regulatory requirements, SLAs all indirectly enforce that


Well, they at least say that one is obligated to address bugs in a timely manner (where "not widely exploitable; won't fix" is a perfectly valid resolution).


What regulatory requirement says software may not have bugs?!
