Nice conspiracy theory, but nothing you say is going to make me believe that
the Audis in production today rust. And aside from the fact that a number of
models are now made of aluminium, most manufacturers use galvanised parts
too. Modern cars don't rust easily. 

I somewhat agree with the market forces argument though - we have shoddy
software today because people accept it: if people bought soley the most
reliable software available, then we would have extremely reliable software.
If geeks didn't bend over backwards to install and use Linux (etc.), then
Linux software might be useable. It's not the producers - it's the
consumers.

Cheers,

Alex.
