I don't know if there's enough vision. Industry wide, the apathy regarding this recent problem is already setting in - shiny things are happening elsewhere, people are forgetting.

I think it is astounding that people could argue for "you just must trust someone else to fix it" instead of "you could fix it yourself, or hire someone to fix it."

The primary goal of a vendor is to make money.

In some industry markets, high quality can be tied to making more money, but I am sure by now all of us know the computer industry is not like that.
