From what I remember though, the difference now is that MS doesn't just hand out the update to carriers/OEMs when they're done with it and say "here we're done". They actually went and got all the OEM and Carrier testing that goes down and when a update is finished MS does all the testing, they then show the resaults to the OEM/Carriers and work out any problems together, this should stop any need for them to hold a update back. Well, we all hope anyways.
