Broken before it starts! Not yet on the market and the first major fix
is ready.

This is not a Service Pack. It is just a handful of updates - and as I
recall, there were a hand full of updates for Windows 7 shortly after
release, as with Windows Vista and XP as well, so this just means they
are getting a bit better at delivering updates.

As to "broken before it starts", name a single modern OS that doesn't
release patches and fixes on a regular schedule, often shortly after the
OS is released.

Debian Stable. It has been thoroughly tested by the time it is released.
Of course there are security updates as the issues are detected.


You're correct - but even I get bored waiting for new Debian releases :-)
