It's only a matter of time...

According to the Apple Web site, Security Update 2005-007 was released to the public on August 12, 2005. And, as with all of their recent security updates, it is available to all Apple customers free of charge. I'm sure none of you reading this article will argue with me about that being a good thing.

The article was an interesting read. But I was left with a question where the answer is less complimentary than you about Apple's security patch history. How do the open source projects manage to get a patch out within hours or days of an identified problem (including most of the ones on your list)? I understand there are QA issues, and that some code changes. But most of these patches are relatively trivial. Apple still needs to improve their patch timeliness /and/ their long-term support for Enterprise customers.
