Economic reality (Score 1)

The software reliability soapbox is getting tired. The economic reality is that the price of the software is subsidized by the user's acceptance of bugs. Change that subsidy and the cost will go up. Increasing the cost will make software less affordable to some current purchasers. If OSS is held to the same standard, innovation will be stifled. If not, OSS will truly thrive at the cost of commericial software.
