Please don't get me going on Apple!!! I have never owned an Apple device
and will never own one either. People say that M$ is closed source, but
Apple is working hard at re-defining the term!

Rather harsh don't you think? I'm all for OSS but I have expenses and
need to make money. Yes M$ makes money, but I think their ethical just
as much as any other company .. is IBM ethical? Is HP ethical? Is Dell
(the company) ethical? They all are to some degree.
Try Apple. They withhold security updates until the press release for
their latest iOS version. See, for example, the hundred of fixes in
https://lists.apple.com/archives/security-announce/2012/Sep/msg00003.html.

At least Microsoft patches on a regular basis.
