Is it just me?

[Benner]

Since getting my computer from Neil I have been religious at it's care and keeping it updated.  Is it just me though or does something need updating every sodding day?  Today, 2 things needed updating after only installing it all a few days ago.

Do Mac's have this issue as well?

[Mr. Whippy]

Macs rarely need updates.  Adobe, Windows, other MS products, Java  regularly send out updates.  It's a PITA.  Virus updates, I understand, 6 Adobe Reader updates/week?  Gimme a break.

Well, how do you think they will sneak peak into our PC's if not trough meaningless updates....

 

[Benner]

And I'm just installing another - LOL

Macs rarely GET updates, not need updates.  Big difference.  Currently, the Mac OS has more unpatched vulnerabilities (if numbers from Norton, Kaspersky et al are to be believed) than Windows 7 or Vista, but the sheer number of Windows desktops means pushing out updates is more critical.

I don't mind installing updates if it means Microsoft is on top of vulnerabilities or problems.
