While marketing continues to beat their chests, Safari, QuickTime and now this with the iPhone shows that they really have no more credibity than MS.

The difference between Apple and Microsoft
At least Microsoft admits that there are security problems. Apple refuses to see or take a security problem seriously even after a number have been discovered. As another example, the DNS problem was only fixed after it was in the wild, but Apple knew about it for months. I suspect this is a backdoor put in by the developers to make testing easier that was never removed. If Apple did this intentionally the individual responsible for that decision shoud be strung up by their heels and caned.
Microsoft admits problems?
Muahahahahahahahahaha! Microsoft admitting problems! Muauauauahahahahahahahahaha. Sure they admit they have problems and then continually issue new patches to correct the crappy software they refuse to fix in its base capabilities.
How is Microsoft's behaviour relevant?
I'd still pick the iPhone over any Windows Mobile device.
Gotta love half the story...
I enjoy it when only half the story gets reported. Other blog sites have already stated both that a quick change in mapping the double-press function eliminates this hole and that Apple is releasing a new update to fix it in the near term.
Bug Responses
While it's true that the response to software flaws by both Microsoft and Apple has been, well, dismal, perhaps we could all agree that they both suck in this regard.
Linux anyone? :)
