>> I'm not sure who makes me more cranky: Apple for apparently sitting on the fix, or Stefan Esser for flinging the vulnerability into the breeze for anyone to catch. > One party makes billions off their users, and will most likely continue their practice of not supporting 3 year old systems even if they are still in wide use for the next time. This should pretty much clear up who is worse. I don't agree. I have a six year old Macbook. In those six years I've updated to a new OS about three or four times. One time it has cost me 20 euros, the others were free. Not only that, but updating is a breeze, it's painless and never was a problem. I never had to do a complete reinstall. My mother could have done this. It's clicking a few buttons and that's it. On top of that, there is no serious degradation in speed. They claim it's even faster, but that probably isn't true for the older hardware. So even if they don't support their three year old OS, you can update your six year old system to the most current one without problem. They could have served these updates as minor ones, but that wouldn't be fun, nothing to show, no new names, no big shows. Now tell me - what is it that they don't support?
