in todays rough times shelling out cash for software that never works as promised is getting more and more hard to swallow
come to think of it software seems to be the only product i can think of that you cannot return after realizing that it doesn't work after purchasing it

tough decision Happy Holidays to All lets hope 8 is all that it can be

I think this is a great idea and an interesting concept in many ways. There would definitely be more scrutiny to the software before it got released knowing that people will not buy it at all if it was very buggy etc. It would definitely sway decisions for the better. Instead of, "We have to release this now or we'll lose money for the quarter" to "We have to release this bug free or no one will buy it and we'll lose money."

I'm 100% all f or this idea! Time to make this law!
