While a "licensed" user of any MS product releases MS from liability, what about network systems owners and providers who suffer real damages every time there is a bug in a product? Shouldn't they be able to collect damages from the company that makes the product?

Continuing the car analogy - does the guy walking down the street that gets run over by the Audi with the stuck gas pedal have the right to sue Audi for their product's fault? Traditionally yes. Why should software vendors be any different.
