Big Difference...

>>> Tell me, do you patch your systems? I just patched
my Panther OS with an Aptil patch... >>>

How many times a YEAR do you need to patch OSX? 2... 3...
maybe 4 (if that)???

How many times a MONTH (a week?) do you need Microsoft
patches? And it has little to do with the numbers games MS
supporters like to play. Try MS OS/apps being spaghetti-
coded, Swiss cheese, Rube Goldberg designed, house of
cards that MS has admitted has sacrificed security over
features.

MS tried to pull a marketing/positive spin fast one with a
recent mega-patch issued (and probably counted) as a
"singe" patch release that was to fix about 20 security
problems. Is this the same patch that caused numerous
subsequent problems? (mostly with W2K machines, many of
which even refused to boot).

>>> Oh, I forgot, Microsoft is the only OS that needs
patching. >>>

Not the only one... only worst and most consistent, "full-
time job" one.
