Don't kid yourself, never going to happen that way. They own the software, you own the bugs.
The software industry is the only one I know of that knowingly ships faulty product and is exempted from liability lawsuits.
The funniest part is that this action was started by Autodesk. AutoCad is, has been, and probably always will be one of the most bug infested programs ever produced. My dealer came by once and noticed we were two versions behind, even though we got free updates as part of the support package. I told him the absolute truth - “we've learned how to deal with the bugs in the version we are using, and I haven't got the time to deal with all the bugs in the next versions. Maybe when we get three versions behind we'll take the plunge - but I'm going to put it off for as long as we can.”
