How can this be. I've only heard that big bad M$ makes such stupid mistakes. Is firefox Open Source? It must not be Open Source because Open Source NEVER makes such a failure.

Give me Open Source as it never has bugs or security holes and it always easily patches. Is that a contradiction in that statement? oh well. Long live Open Source and down with the evil vile M$.

Anti-near-monopoly OS Sarcasm Torpedo ARMED. FIRE!!

Well, at least it isn't like some OS's / applications where mistakes seem to force the original release even BEFORE a fix.

Full Disclosure: It was promised that the Gates of Hell would not prevail against the Church. It remains to be seen if the "Hell of Gates" will prevail against the forces of open-source. ;-)

No... there's a giant strawman lurking in it, however.

The complaint is about mistakes, it's about MS taking months to fix them or to notify its customers.
