Is not the "people" who drives the car but the "use" that people do with the car. You are buying a product that has been probed, tested and certified to be driven under certain conditions, it cannot cover all the situations. Anyway, I would like to see the open source car but still not found it. And the same remains with computers and linux. No one of the systems I manage are certified fot running Debian (nor any other version of a linux distribution), so if something does not work, I cannot go crying to each manufacturer an tell them: "hey, your hardware does not work in Debian", they'll just reply me "hey, we only certified our product for windows system, we do not even know what is that 'Debian' thing...".
