Dear Apple, here are some comments I have:
"Prevents a potential issue in which Mac OS X might stop responding when trying to log in as a FileVault-protected user if the protected Home image file has been damaged or moved" -- Thanks. This is probably fixing the problem that crashed my computer and corrupted my NetInfo database to the point where I had to do a full reinstall. 2 weeks too late, bastards.
"If you are bound to a directory system which enforces password expiration, ... your keychain password will automatically be updated as well." -- So I paid $6,000 to your Enterprise group to have OpenDirectory set up and it never got completed because of this bug. Your engineer installed a third-party freeware app that eased the problem but became a usability nightmare. "Will Apple support this utility?" No. "Will Apple include this utility in the next release of OS X?" No. "Will Apple fix the fundamental problem so a utility isn't required?" We're not allowed to say. "Enterprise Support" at all other companies means that once a bug is scheduled to be fixed in a particular release they'll tell you. Instead, Apple continues their policy that "Enterprise Support means you pay us a lot of money and we do nothing."
"Resolves potential issues that could occur when using automatic proxy configuration (PAC) files." -- I hope this is the problem that I run into about every other day.
"Disk Utility's repair permissions feature will no longer report "We are using special permissions for..." messages." -- And did you hunt down and kill the developer that created this message? What does the code look like, /* Spew random error messages that almost make sense but only if computers used tri-nary instead of binary. */"
"Resolves an issue that could cause Help Viewer to sometimes display a blank window." -- I thought it was just emulating the "blank look" stare that I get from your phone support people anytime I ask a question that can't be solved by rebooting.
"Terminal windows will no longer fail to open when using the /bin/zsh shell." -- I thought you were just discouraging people with bad taste.
"Addresses an issue for Microsoft Word 2004 in which Word would display a "Word cannot complete the operation because too many files are open" alert message when autosaving a document to a network-based home directory." -- I used to have a user that got this error constantly. I quit that company 5 months ago and the user was laid off last week. A dollar short and a day late.
And now the grand finale!!!
"Makes Mac OS X aware of United States Daylight Savings Time (DST) changes enacted by the Energy Policy Act of 2005." Oh your motherfuckers rolled out a fix for this the WEEK AFTER the first time this was needed! Fucking brilliant!
Oh sweet jesus I'm laughing so hard it hurts! Make it stop! Make it stop!
