Destruction: Bloody, Infinite

Apple ISV software comes in so-called 'bundles'. This is about as intelligent as a cow turd in the middle of the dinner table at Buckingham Palace. There are any number of rules for how you are supposed to bundle stuff - and none of them have anything to do with underlying operating system technology or generic IT mechanisms.

Witness the idiotic storage of Stuffit below - megabyte upon megabyte of redundant system modules are duplicated not only from the proprietary system area where they should remain, but across directory after directory of the install itself. And you thought Microsoft programmers were retarded? Ha! They're geniuses compared to these morons!

Worst of all is the wanton destruction the Stuffit installer wreaks on your system. (There should be a law with mention of a firing squad against this sort of thing.)

A short summary follows below. Click to the next page to read the full-length blood-dripping version.
