Hilarious coincidence
As I was reading your message, my adept-updater icon flashed. 24 updates for 28MB worth of patches. Yesterday there were 3. A few days prior there were a few more. I just found it ironic that this popped up while reading your little rant about how MS was SO DEEPLY FLAWED and SO SHODDILY constructed. If 21 patches in a month means that Windows is shoddily constructed, what does 50 patches in a month mean? happy

Nothing wrong with finding vulnerabilities, dozens are found in Linux distros (not the kernel but yes the distro) every month. Nothing even wrong with exploits as long as you can protect yourself from them. So far, XP has kept my data safe. What more, security wise, can you ask from an OS?
