software makes should not be held liable

One question, are you a software developer? I would guess not.

Anyone who writes software for Windows will now how hard it is to make software run on all possible software/hardware configurations. This is why anyone who sells software will have a license agreement which states “If it does not work on your system, don’t blame me” or something to that effect.

When a bug or security hole is found in the software who do you blame? The developer who writes the product or the company who sells the compiler used to make the program binary? Lets not forget that a lot of developers will use 3rd party code libraries so save time during development.
