Usually every major OSX update breaks domain macs somehow, or somehow renders some random piece of engineering software unusable The latter I am perfectly happy to lay at the feet of the software vendors though

Microsoft doesn't break things. the admin breaks things and then blames the last update which didn't affect anything related to what the admin broke. apple doesn't announce they will break dns for a year and then they do it.

there's a reason best practice for update deployment is to run a few weeks behind, deploying everything to your test lab first. it ain't just because of third party software
