I don't care about company values or number of developers, but there should be a starting point and there is nobody else than the user. Unfortunately users have a very weak position ever, where almost all companies deny warranty for the software products since ages (regarding Microsft; here the context probably is a service, not software, but looking at usual service experiences and accountability it is comparable). Cutomers and users only can help themself by complaining (many need to complain, but one needs to be first), and can do so only if they aware of issues. If you wish, one can optimize user experience to not have a delay for 1s when a warning is displayed, but seeing a warning is not a bad thing. I'm also aware that many users can't judge about technical messages, so best we refer to details in the manual. And yes, I'm serios about that. Bad reputation should go the people or organizations working on it. Kind regards, Gero
