Most of my experience has been as an engineer working for large organizations, so I answered from that perspective. Most lawsuits regarding software will involve larger corporations, but if the development of software were to involve gross negligence, lawsuits could involve smaller parties. (Yes, it's unlikely that Microsoft would ever be that negligent.) Also, the EULAs that we all scroll through have not always protected companies from lawsuits. EULAs have been partially invalidated by courts before. | |

In fact pretty much every proprietary software license doesn't allow the user to sue anyone and the software is expressly licensed under terms that claim it's unfit for any purpose. | |
