Do you even work in the industry? We have to test atches for a while before we can roll into production. In fact the newist blaster patch broke a lot of our custom code that used RPC. So while we rewrite our code (ms dosn't care) we have to rely on our firewall to do its job, and pray that a virus dosn't get in on a unforseen vector. MS is crap
