Overstatement
Just so that you understand, I use MS products because they work for me. I generally like the way the OS works, and I think that MS Office is the best suite of business apps on the market.

As for applying patches, I keep my systems up to date. Takes very little time. Virtually no effort. I have yet to finish one of those gruelling patch sessions gasping for air.

All of that aside, your attempted deflection of problems from open source to MS proves to me that you are highly insecure about your decision to use open source software. I, on the otherhand, have no such insecurities. You won't find a single post from me deflecting MS problems to open source. I know that NO software is perfect.

Really, Mr. T, you chose your path, be confident in it. Don't just say you're confident, prove it.

And, by the way, did YOU apply the patches. Work, Mr. T, work!
