I love when companies behave like that. It just leaves so much room for the small guys to distinguish themselves as better. In a perfect world bugs won't exist

In a perfect world bugs won't exist. Less perfect - they will be dealt with as soon as someone notifies the company (and there will be no blame on that someone). Our world isn't perfect, but as an optimist I see many great business opportunities in this.

They deprecated the Java bindings for Cocoa back in '05; stopped bundling it in 10.7 last year, now they've punted the OSX JVM back to Oracle. Not to say that really matters to Oracle, the desktop has never been Java's strong point.
