What did you really mean?
---If you chose to read that as: What an amazing fact!!, that is your problem, not mine.---

So your original post, where you said:
"Uh huh, we believe you Apple", that was not meant in a sarcastic tone? That was not meant to imply disbelief but instead should have been taken literally to mean that you do indeed believe Apple?

---What an amazing coincidence!! I'm not usually one for conspiracy theories but this one is just too easy.---

If you didn't meant to imply that the patches were a direct result, rather than just a coincidence, then what is the conspiracy theory you refer to in this sentence?

---However, George has far more information on this than I do---

George claims to have more information on this than you do. We have not seen any evidence whether this is true or not.

---The worst George could be accused of is releasing information before he was given authority to release the backup for that information.---

Again, we have no evidence, so George could equally be accused of a wide number of things, each just as likely as your supposition above, which assumes he actually has the proof he claims to have.

---What do you think George's motivation is for lying about what M&E told him?---

I'm not sure that George has lied about what M&E told him. We don't know what they told him and we don't know if they told him the truth. He could be 100% honest and just a dupe here, being taken advantage of by people who were 1) trying to hype their book sales, and 2) trying to hype their company's worth as it was being sold. Not saying that's what happened but it does provide a possible motivation. What I don't understand is why George continues to support M&E and SecureWorks, who have continually stabbed him in the back and made him to look like a fool. I would have dropped their case like a hot potato the very first time they embarrassed me. I guess George's need to belittle any OS that isn't Windows is so strong that he can't let go.
