EC wants software makers held liable for code
-
thanks. i think getting totally bug free software is (probably) an illusion. features should work properly though and the customer has a right to get working features.

basically this already exists and is executed for tailor-made software. however in such cases all or most factors like operating system version, hardware, ect. are defined in detail.
more generic software will never run under any circumstances like say a toaster does (and actually i could fry a toaster with wrong voltage or fry bread if toasted too long).
the main effect IMO would be buerocracy, ie. system requirements would become more restrictive, compatibility list would become unreadably long, some lawyers would earn more money ...
one should better throw such energy into simply making software better ... software which doesn't work as expected does not sell already in the short run.
