Should Google have delayed the release of services like Google Drive? Should they have scrapped the project entirely? Because, after all, it was buggy as shit on launch day and it cost me hours of productivity as I tried to adopt the system and integrate it into my workfolow. It was basically useless to me (worse than useless, actually) and I PAID MONEY FOR IT.
But no, I accepted the fact that I was a launch day customer and that systems often release with bugs. I waited out the 2-4 weeks it took them to shore up the service's deficiencies and now, I'm a happy Google Drive customer.
Pretty much the same thing applies to when I upgraded to Mountain Lion on launch day (in retrospect, a rather stupid decision on my part). It was buggy, it pissed me off, I waited it out and now it's a pretty great OS. I've also had these experiences with EVERY version of Windows (which I've been using since Win95).
In short, shit happens. If this is still a problem in two months, then I'll start complaining. The long-term benefits of an Apple-created Maps application FAR outweigh the short-term negatives of buggy software.
