But developers must be very careful about this, or be left to the
mercies of the judiciary. Suppose I sell a product using the claim,
"Fully integrated with Quicktime!" After purchase, customers discover
bugs that make Quicktime integration impossible. If I plan on saying,
"Oh, sorry—that software is sold 'as is,'" then I'd better buckle
myself in for a long battle. Lawsuits might be justified, in my
opinion. You can't just lie or refuse to keep promises you made.
