So all the engineers who experience a BSOD, they discontinue using Windows immediately after?


This is exactly what the navy did when the bsod parked that destroyer in a harbour 20 years ago.

When you have mission critical pieces of software (aka stuff that kills you) starting to behave in unexpected ways with unknown failure modes you stop using it asap until fixed.

I will gladly continue using my bsoding pc for gaming, but I won't use it in data center or to control a shuttle launch.

If a person uses gas oven that leaks from time to time and only a bit - how will you classify him.


Totally not the same thing. If my car's steering locks up and I can't turn because of a software glitch, I'm returning that thing to the dealer ASAP.
