They are naive and code badly because of it? You keep spinning and yer gonna get dizzy. Apple also said they aren't going to fix the issue. Professionalism? Google apple microsoft zero day patch and you'll hit articles showing apple is so professional they lag behind in issuing zero day patches compared to MS.
So to sum up. Safari has a flaw, that enables a second flaw in explorer to be exploited. MS is going to patch explorer, Apple has zero plans to patch even though when MS patches, the safari bug will still have security effects on the system. And you think MS is less professional then Apple is used to working with?
