You can please some of the people all of the time...
If Microsoft did the same thing, no one would bat an eyelid. Apple do one thing (which in my opinion was totally the right thing to do) and instantly they are getting a comeuppance for being too reliable, too nice, too perfect? Can't help but think if karma existed, Bill Gates'd being getting the brunt of the bad stuff.
Also, let's be fair, do we really expect legitimate software to go out of its way, spend a massive chunk of its research and design budget and triple the time it takes to make it purely to support people's perversions of it's previous version? I think not....And let's give Apple some credit here, I'd hate to think how much it costs to update software. And how much does it cost us to update our Apple software? Bugger all.
Seriously though, don't use "gay" like that. It offends us lesbians and one would assume gay men too.
Is It Me, Or Has Karma Finally Decided To Settle Up With Apple?
