After Microsoft release the patch, they felt rather proud of their
achievement, funny enough, the patch is patchy, surprise surprise?

Yet how many end-lusers actually upgrade/patch their installation of
Windows, very few.  Need I use the example of a zdnet article  that
mentioned how "great" the Windows update feature was, and the number of
people who didn't know about it (as shown by the number of responses)! the
icon in the start menu is sticking out like a sore thumb! how could some
one miss it? or does the statement ,"90% of lusers are complete and utter
morons" have a grain of truth in it.

If you subscribe to bugtraq you will see just how often Microsoft
have to release patches to their previous security bug patches. So
much for regression testing.

Over 100 security bugs in Microsoft SW in 2000. An infamous record.
The worst offending app? IIS. It isn't looking any better this year
either.

2nd May. You really do have problems with the simplest of things
don't you. The register is a uk site and uses the international
standard for dates: dd/mm/yyyy. The fact that the US do it arse
about face is not our problem.
