No offense intended, but what do you not fill the bug yourselves (meaning
people working at Apple)? I mean there are such enormous bugs in the Finder
and other inconsistencies between Apple apps that I just can't imagine 1)
how they pass QA and 2) no Apple software developer couldn't notice them.
My point is that, although I perfectly admit users/developers should report
"difficult to catch" bugs to Apple because it's simply impossible to test
everything, I don't admit this almost hypocrite attitude of "yeah we know
about this enormous bug / design error, but as long as nobody reports it, we
ain't working on it". It's like asking other people to do your work... If
you care about your software, you fix things before people complain, or
better, before release.
Furtheremore, if reporting bugs is the only way to make the things work,
then I don't see why a bug reported by an Apple person should be less
valuable than one reported by an outsider.
I understand you guys have a tremendous piece of work to do on that huge Mac
OS X, but come on, that's no excuse for working on the next big release or
next iThing when the previous ones are not clean.
Or am I missing something?
My 2 cents anyway ;)
