There is a simpler way. My computer Science instructor at University was, and still is, saddened a the state of software development. But he blames the consumers of software as much as those corporations coding the sad applications that we see today.
His thinking was that if everyone returned the software that didn't work as promised, or required patches and service packs just to work well and be secure, then the industry might well respond to by putting out well tested software instead of the late-tested betaware that we currently are exposed to.
Whether or not he's right is moot, but there are now dozens of cases where software is being returned, even after agreeing to the terms of use (which have been rendered as non-binding in several states by the way), and if we took some lead from this, maybe, he's right.
Still, it is sad that something that has become so intertwined into our daily lives is so badly prepared to be used by the same people who must use it.
Peace,
Pierre
