Why the hurry?
Authored by: Ilgaz on Sep 26, '08 10:38:59AM

I understand 10.5.0 was rushed because Apple really cared about those Digg etc. trolls feedback but I don't get the hurry with OS updates.

As a side note, Apple is the company owning CUPS now. Owner of CUPS doesn't code a simple file right and this is Apple, king of DTP business. I can't imagine how much frustrated the Adobe based businesses are.

As Macosxhints is an actual Mac users site, I couldn't stand not posting this. Issue is, if every update creates such a huge issue, Mac users will soon find themselves resisting to updates which will create bigger trouble in long term. It is a major issue if you consider the OS X updates are also security fixes (although pro-active)

Considering there is not any replies that confirms the same problem and even Adobe's notes say "some printers", what makes you think this was an easy to catch bug or even Apple's fault? If there are printers and apps out there that does not have this problem despite the update, it is very difficult to assign blame to just one party.

Security updates are labeled as such or in a larger updated noted specifically to be so. I do not think you can assume all updates from Apple are Security Updates.
