That's it. I'm through with this. Is there any way that we could all file complaints about this on Apple's website? They would not want any angry customers, so I'm thinking that if they hear all of our complaints, they might FINALLY tell us what is going on.

:mad:

I wonder what windows 8 looks like, this whole thing is so dull now....
 
Some people really need to get a life. Apple can do betas as often as they want to. They will release it when it's ready.

You afraid to post a complaint with name? lol
 
I would definitely not buy 10.9. Maybe I wait until they release 10.10! (If they could ever!) With this rate of progress, it looks like Apple is going on Microsoft path!

Not even close. Microsoft issues a new update for every single "fixed" issue. That's why Windoze users are greeted with an update on what seems like an almost daily basis.

They have angry customers and they know it, they just don't care because in the scheme of things it's not important to them. I agree this whole charade is a joke and obviously Apple do not rank customer satisfaction high enough when it comes to OSX.
 
They must be having issues with getting the Nvidia GTX690 drivers running OpenGL 4.3 on the MacPro 6,1 ...

I'd take fixes for my rMBP on a daily basis if it takes care of the wake from LAN issues, the 55 second shutdown, and graphics issues with Safari.... anyday.

I agree! Why didn't they just release 10.8.3 without fixes? I mean, it is just an updated name, it doesn't actually contain anything that needs time to get fixed - It is so unrealistic!
 
There is a great amount of sloppiness in 10.8—and iOS 6 too—so my hope is this diligence reflects an awakening inside of Apple that quality on the software front is not what it used to be.

Furthermore, I hope this awakening on the software front also applies to innovation. Yes, iOS and OSX are the best operating systems in the market—today. But Google is innovating at a rapid rate and closing the gap.

Quality and execution is where Tim Cooke should shine.
 
I know people are itching to get the update to resolve a lot of the issues. But If Apple rushed it I suspect some of the issues will stick around until the next update.

So it's probably for the best that Apple is taking it's time.

In reflection of your comments, my hope is that there is in fact diligence at play here.
 
I updated with new calculations (hope I got them right). Anyway if accurate crazy compared to the other top spots which were not anywhere as early as .2 to .3 releases.

Craig Federighi took over OSX at Apple about when 10.8.2 was released.
I am told by people within Apple that he has an engineer's mindset and has been very disappointed with the stream of minor bugs and irritations that built up within Lion and Mountain Lion.

This long delay with 10.8.3 may (let's hope so) confirm this.
It would be nice to believe that, every week, he tries the latest 10.8.3 then comes into the engineering meeting screaming "Does it fix the power management bugs? NO! Does it fix the locationd crashing bugs? NO! Does it fix the Finder caching and displaying out of date information bugs? NO! So go and fscking fix them. Because no way are we EVER shipping again a piece of software as buggy as we have over the past eighteen months --- not as long as I am in charge!"
 
Purposeful?

Maybe there's something included in the final update that gives away something else Apple has planned, and they're not ready to release it, yet, so they're dragging their feet? Just shooting in the dark.

This makes more sense than my thought, above.
