Great response. Akin to Steve Jobs’ “you’re holding it wrong.” Please do go into detail regarding the flawlessness of Windows. Remember that update that was wiping people’s entire hard drives? Yeah, great stuff.
Not a Windows fan in the slightest, but the initial launch of snow leopard had a bug that was totally erasing peoples home folders that they took over two months to release a fix for.
Software is flawed, it just is. No matter what company you go with, bugs will pop up.
It’s not a Tim Cook thing, it’s not a Microsoft thing, it’s just how software is, including all the big cat themed 2000s era versions of Mac OS X that everyone rants and raves were perfect and never had a bug.

I’m not defending either company. I was responding to someone else implying that Microsoft hasn’t had any big issues since Windows 7 … which is ridiculous.
 
I have "Security Rapid Responses" set to auto-install in MacOS settings, it downloaded itself but had not auto-installed (maybe it would have tonight?). I told it to install … and it tried to reboot my machine. No warning at all that it was going to try. No "installing this will require a reboot … continue?" or anything like that. Only thing that saved me from everything vanishing out from under me was a Terminal session that prompted me.
 
Was impressed at how fast the update went on my (Intel) MBP. Took literally a minute or less to restart and boom, I'm back in business. Definitely a huge difference from the more "traditional" updates, which has always been super slow.

On iOS, however, I'm experiencing the same issues as almost everyone else.
 
My hypothesis is that the update verification server itself was updated to support RSR verification and something went wrong. The entire update verification server is down and thats the reason for „no internet connection“.

Mister Federighi, Mister Federighi, I tried to update my ...
Craig interrupts vigorously with glassy eyes from watching VR busty worlds, "**** - I'm busy getting things done!"
