Implied warranty

Microsoft and Linux have a point. An implied warranty would visit a heavy onus on software suppliers to prove their software was fit for purpose. Apparent failure of software could arise from the buyers' defective hardware, incompetence and clashes with little known software. It is fairer that the onus of proving the software is faulty remains with the buyers, rather than the suppliers trying to prove a negative in unknown territory.
