The lack of public instances, and the language of EULAs, suggest that
you can't sue a vendor for buggy software.  In the rest of the world,
when people can't use the courts to resolve problems (eg, vendors of
illegal products) they develop other methods of conflict resolution.
Perhaps some mafia folks whose bookmaking operation lost money due
to a bug, will make the vendor an offer he can't refuse.
