Story: Microsoft OneCare gets a bashing

Hello,
I cannot believe that Microsoft would have us all pay for their flaws and bugs! If this were a car the manufacturer would be forced into a recall to make repairs.
Perhaps it's time to rewrite the Digital Millennium Act and pass a new law I would call the DQA (Digital Quality Act). This would stop this rip-off and force software developers to test their products to assure a certain standard of security in their products.
I would suggest that two of the proposed provisions would be: 1.) Mandate prison time for top company officials when they do not comply. 2.) Allow consumers and business to sue in order to recover loses caused by certain vulnerabilities (Or Manufacturer Defect) if the manufacturers software.
Any thoughts on this?
