Jobs Claims Microsoft Is Shamelessly Copying

Nicholas Roussos writes "Steve Jobs was outspoken at a recent annual shareholder meeting. He claimed 'They are shamelessly copying us', referring to Microsoft. Of course, Microsoft has done its share of pointing fingers as well." From the article: "Most telling, Jobs said is that Tiger, the next version of Mac OS X, will go on sale later this month, while Longhorn is still more than a year away."

how many bug fixes per month

How many patches, security fixes, and bug fixes (or claims it's not a bug, it is a feature) does Micro$oft put out per month as compared to Apple?
If you write a program, either OS or application, right the first time, you don't need to fix it.

Besides bouts of versionitis, if you have something that is reliable and does what you want it how often do you change it? How often do you change your TV or telephone?
