Not confused....just happy
I'm not sure what the problem is here? Apple made some
patches and people are complaining? Whats up with that?
Patches made before any malware could take affect....and still
complaints? Huh? Now the comparison between MS (who in her
long history has on occasion been fairly slow to patch but
recently has been much better) and Apple is a bit unfair. Apple
while profable and has billions in researve is dwarfed resource
wise by MS should in theory be that much slower than MS after
all MS has all those beta testers called customers and all that
money and programmers in India that sould mean that they are
able to find and squash bugs very quickly and Apple having a far
smaller pool of beta testers and yes she does have money but
nothing compared to MS so resource and programmers wise
Apple's speed is remarkable all things considerred...:P

So again what's the problem here?
