- Garbage! Dont tell me that I have to purchase phone support so the
- bugs I report can get fixed.
-
- The problem is that Apple does not put enough weight on responding to
- reported bugs. Antonio has been known to respond to some reports but
- the stated policy was(/is?) NOT to respond to reports.
-
- To be fair, I am sure that not all reports that I have submitted have
- actually been bugs. However, I can say for sure that I know of bug(s)
- that I have submitted during 2.0b12 (or so) that still exist in 3.0.
- So why is that.. Broken by design? Apple does not care? The information
- never got to the correct person? What?
-
- I guess I will never know but because of that, I will submit no more bug
- reports to Apple.
-
- For comparison, when I submit a bug report to Convex, I get a notice
- of receipt within 24 hours and a number to track the problem with.
- When the report is delt with, I get another notice of the resolution.
- ... and we dont even have to pay for that service. :)
