You know what's interesting is that it's not only the software that fails. This is especially true in infrastructure computing (such as telecom), where boxes are literally everywhere and deployed "forever." Bit-flips due to radiation, aging components, etc... none of those should bring down the phone network, but you might drop a phone call.
