Possibly. Anyway, it seems kind of silly to release the iPhone for Windows XP, Windows Vista, but not Windows Vista 64 bit. And it seems more like a technical difficulty than a deliberate attempt to get customers to switch over to Macs, but I'm not an expert in these things.

Whats nowdays shipped "complete"? How many updates MS has uploaded to your Xbox 360 or how many updates Sony pushes to your PSP?

I think its great thing that companies continue developing the software of their devices but releasing something buggy and unfinnished is another thing...

Just take the Battlefield series of games from EA (Electronic Arts), they have patches released surprisingly regularly! For Command & Conquer 3, as soon as i had installed it (2/3 weeks after release) there was a patch fixing bugs. I mean, come on EA, you are a rich company you should be able to make a game that isn't buggy and requires constant patching first time, not like 8th time.
