What number fudging?

I didn't fudge a single thing. Those are real numbers boy-o. And working on a patch that will not come out for another month leaves way too many systems open to a vulnerability. That is not a responsibility MS should be shirking. Anti-Virus software only does so much. We all know that. According to you MS takes care of everything and does it promptly, or has it taken care of on the next patch tuesday. They knew about this flaw for at least a week yet the fix for it isn't in the patch. And it probably won't be until next months patch cycle. That leaves too many systems open to a vulnerability that could have the potential to do a lot of harm. For 5 weeks. Do you not realize how much damage can be done in 5 weeks?
As for people not spending millions to get away from MS? I would if a flaw that MS failed to protect me from cost me millions. Or cost me any money at all.
