In Europe you are forced to give your customer 2 years of warranty on certain products. E.g. computer hardware or electronics.

To be honest, one would hope that a warranty term of 2 years would force manufacturers to make their products more reliable, rather than keeping the quality constant and increasing the price.

But, in an industry where it is normal to deprecate products in two years now (hi, iPad 1), I guess that's too much to ask.

I am sorry for our planet.
