Ironic the completely different direction Microsoft is now taking:
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-10006325-83.html
Microsoft to give partners heads-up on security vulnerabilities
Microsoft will be giving companies that sell security software and
services to its customers a sneak peek at the technical details of
the vulnerabilities in Microsoft software before the company
releases its monthly "Patch Tuesday" updates.
The new Microsoft Active Protection Program, set to be announced at
the Black Hat security conference on Tuesday, is designed to give
software vendors a change to prepare updates to their software
before attackers have a chance to reverse engineer Microsoft's
security patch and create an exploit.

I have conversations on the inside with people in the security

I have to agree. I'd like to see Apple with a bit more forwardness
and openness in the security department. I think it would be great
to have Apple with an open dialogue (not going to happen) with the
community to discuss issues such as these. However, I just don't
see how Apple can continue growing in the enterprise without being a
bit more up front with its clients.

Apple / Shawn, help us out - these are the things that sink OS X

Wow.
Just wow.
I'm starting to get very frustrated with Apple with respect to
security.
A local root exploit unpatched for a month, not having the DNS
issue fixed when every other vendor did, not to mention still not
having the resolver issue fixed on the client side.
I realize that Apple had several major launches it was dealing
with, but come on. I'm seriously considering the future of Apple
servers in our environment.
