I've been reading the posts associated with this topic and they kinds' gotten me riled up. Why're everyone gettin' so bent out of shape because the a toolbar update for FF v4 hasn't been released yet? I've even seen posts that're angry because the update wasn't released even for the Betas and RCs. Really??? First of all how can people expect a release before the final product is released? It's sinmple comon sense, people. (And I apologizeif I should happen to offend anybody who reaads this post. I'm not trying to offend, just trying to get people to think.) Symantec is "primo" when it comes to security. I, pursonally, prefer then to any other service- hands down. Security, of any type, is needed and it's gettin' to be that way on any and all levels. Considering thaqt fact and the price we pay. as long as it's for my good they can take the time needed to get the tool as close to perefect as they can make it. (Well, that's a conundrum. Considering how technology changes(case in point) that'll technically bever happen; but that doesn't mean we shouldn't strive towards perfection.) If tey'd come out with a final product, then and only then would the prior posts be justifiable.
People, it's like this, if you want it to work right then it has to be developed correctly- and that takes time. Think about all the rushed decisions we've ever made. Sometimes it's not that big of s deal while others there were consequences- either light or up into the extreme. I don't know about you all, but my info, whether private or not, needs to be secured until I decide to leak it. And I prefer those who are more tech savvy than myself to build and right the proper program(s) to do the job for me. If any of us were "techie" enough to write or build our own product that does the same as Symantec products, then we'd be self employed in this medium and not posting gibberish here. For example, if you take your car to a mechanic it's going to take awhile to make the proper repairs. Though there are quick fixes and faster work-arounds, but neither would suffice depending on how much you depend on your vehicle while doing what ever you do. And so a computer is a machine just like your computer. Both last only as long as you properly keep up the maintainance. To get it right, always involves thorough testing and possibly a bit of time. Like Toyota and the paddle issues they had. If they'd've been thorough then it would've prevented, not all, but possibly a large number of their recalls.
Now, to close, why do people think that it's okay to rush professionals- especially when dealing with life line products and procedures? Would you expect a doctor to rush or cut corners while doing open heart surgery on a loved one or even yourself? So ease up people. Those at Symantec are the professionals providing tools and services to protect our "lifeline"(pertinent info). Let's not rush the surgeons.
