What else would you expect for auto-updating software that relies on the internet to work? It's a monoculture attached to a firehose of disease.

This is exactly the same as "pushing out a security fix to all users," except it apparently wasn't intentional. You can't have one without the other.

I love "firehose of disease", and will steal it. And I agree that bugs are bugs; every time you add a new capability, you add all the possible bugs that can occur with that capability.
