If you ship an OS that runs your premium+ pricey hardware one of the onuses on you is to be able to quickly respond to catastrophic bugs and security issues without introducing new ones.

That's why you hire best engineers, product managers and QA people and establish processes that let you do exactly that. Trouble is Apple's treating everything like toys nowadays.

Surprising though how many people are willing to give a free pass to an almost trillion dollar company.

Also you realise Apple's asking their customers to run terminal commands - even MS has fixits that just do it :)

What do you mean a "free pass"? Apple has been (rightly) grilled over this.

Also, though the patch does introduce this new bug, it's hardly a show-stopper, it has a simple fix, it will likely affect a tiny percentage of users, and I'm sure be resolved in a future release.

OP did give them a pass pretty much. Also saw Jean Louise Gassee trivialize it by claiming it only affects techies looking deeper!

But ok, fair enough - I think mostly they did get grilled - just bugged me that few people found ways to justify it! :)
