I think this statement's a sad reflection on how the computer industry managed to hoodwink the average consumer.
If consumers had
demanded quality (i.e. took back their computers, or at least refused to get new ones) when they crashed, the industry would be forced to churn out stuff slower (i.e. actually have more quality control) and stop using consumers as crash test dummies.
Microsoft should have stopped existing before the term "Blue screen of death" became a commonly understood (and accepted) expression.
