Why don the software vendors do more to prevent bugs and/or fix them in their products?
There are many powerful market forces that exert pressure on the vendors to hustle new products out the door before the bug fixing process is complete — they want to maximize cash flow, which always peaks with new product release; they want to inflate their stock price, which will enable them to acquire other firms. Meanwhile, as real competition in PCdom recedes to a dim memory, there are fewer market pressures on vendors to produce solid products, apart from BugNet.
