give me a freakin break people.... you guys complain when Microsoft doesn't
patch something, and now you're complaining when Microsoft patches
something....  I think that a lot of people just like to bash Microsoft for
any reason they can think of what's next, Microsoft bashing because they're
in Redmond, WA and you feel they should be in Texas somewhere?

   Do the world a favor and hide behind your precious little *nix machines
and *think* that you're immune to patching and security holes while the "bad
guys" happily take over your systems, one by one....

  sheesh.....sorry for the rant, but I DO feel better now :-)  I'll get off
my soapbox now

I use Linux, OpenBSD and Windows in my enterprise.  Linux and OpenBSD use
the "1 patch for 1 vulnerability" rule.  Seems to me that MS is bunching
their patches together in order to make it seem on the surface that
Windows
has less patches than other Oses, therefore it is more secure.  CIOs, take
note.
