Scheduled security updates

Not sure why this is a desirable thing. I like the idea of putting out a fix the second that fix is available. If you're in charge of a bunch of machines and want to schedule a regular cycle of updates, why can't you just do that yourself, rather than demanding that the OS manufacturer withhold valuable fixes until you're ready for them? What's the benefit, I don't get it?

Also as far as the interviewer's issues with Apple's communication--Apple has been good with issues once they're fixed. They will talk to the press and put out information after they've reviewed the problem and fixed it. The issue is that Apple is notoriously tight-lipped about things at any stage before this. So no, nothing has really changed.
