I thought they did that already. Although I believe they are called "traffic accidents".Assume that I'm referring to cars which randomly and violently explode when you sit in them and close the door, for no apparent reason.
Faxmachinen has a good point there actually. People do get into cars, aware of the fact that it may kill them. Now cars don't just explode for no reason, but traffic accidents do happen. Tens of thousands are killed every year in cars. Yet people still use cars, because they think that the benefits of using a car outweighs the dangers. I guess it's the same with crummy IT systems. Even if it is buggy, insecure and hell to maintain, the software is still used because it provides some perceived utility to the organization.
