Is it just me?
« on: October 21, 2010, 06:54:49 PM »
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?
I'm back!!

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.  >:(

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.
