Exactly the reason I program my "Downloads" to be approved by this PC
owner--Moi! In a public discussion this week, more than 1/3 of those
present said they've bought IMacs b/c MS keeps coming out with new OS, et
al, and requiring its consumers to be their R&D. I agree. Its getting to
be exhausting. Wake up MS.

I think those mac purchasers will be disappointed if they went there because
of Microsoft releasing updates every month.

The current version of Apple's "Tiger" release of OSX is 10.4.10. 10.4.11 is
currently out for testing prior to general release. That's 10 or 11 major
revisions, broadly equal to a service pack, since the release of 10.4.0.
Apple run to at least one patch a month, often more.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking Apple here... I'm a Mac user myself
as well as a Windows user and I actually prefer Apple's OS to Microsoft's
one, but neither company gets it 100% right first time and has no need to
issue updates. Neither do the Linux crowd.
