An internal memo sent to employees at a large Fortune 500 company recommends they not update to iOS 6 due to an issue with Exchange, reports MacRumors.

The site has learned that when users decline a meeting invitation on iOS 6 its sends meeting cancellation notices to the entire distribution list instead of just to the meeting organizer, cancelling the invitation for everyone.

This is the first that I didn't upgraded to a newer iPhone since the firs one came out and it was the best decision I've made, I'm staying with my 4S 5.1.1 firmware and I don't need no fortune 500 company's to tell me, I've already known before they did. but you can bet that Apple will put a rush on fixing bugs now when it comes to problems with company's as big as Apple.

Sounds like the problem is with Exchange, not iOS 6

Unlikely since iOS 5.x works flawlessly with Exchange. I have a feeling that Apple may have rushed iOS 6 out before it was ready for public consumption......very unusual for them.
