Microsoft facing potential fines of $2,200,000,000.00 (2.2 trillion) for having shitty software.
We need to have laws that hold software companies liable for shitty products. Not necessarily all software, of course not, but if someone wants to sell a product that doesn't work as advertised and ends up propagating virii or spilling private information out to the world or just plain sucks, they should be held liable. We use that standard for anything but software.
And while we are at it, we need to get rid of patents on software, genes, and business practices. Stupid shit, that.
