I know I will get slammed but whatever.

"And it's not just the hackers; third-party influentials and industry leaders like Cisco tell us regularly that our focus and investment continues to surpass others."

Exactly. When a vulnerability is discovered Microsoft has 100s of people who are paid specifically to ID it and fix it. When a high priority security issue is discovered Microsoft pushes out a fix within hours or maybe a day or two. Other companies, you will be lucky to get a fix within a week or a month.

Yes, I know there are examples where the fast response did not happen. However, 90% of the time you even hear about a security hole is because Microsoft has just released a patch for it.

Please write open stuff. Just use closed stuff to write it.
Apple: Making perfect sense, as always.

I know we lost, what I assume is, millions. (Probably $150 per screw) Someone's car got smashed. We almost killed people. We probably set the program back X amount of time. X amount of time is going to cost, what I assume is, millions. But still...

We laugh at Fail Blog so...can't we laugh at this a little? Or maybe at least chuckle?
