Uh - I know we're all supposed to be a bunch of Mac-loving lemmings 
here, but how exactly is MS shipping products that require fixes later 
different from what every other company does - including *gasp* Apple.

Or I guess iCal just worked flawlessly from day one.
And Keynote is completely without problems.
And OS X was everything it was hyped to be the day it came out?

Are you just engaging in typical MS-bashing because it feels good?  
Because in this particular instance I'd hardly say that MS lacks 
competition - especially not in the enterprise database space.
