Gotta love Redmond's spin on this mess. My memory isn't the greatest anymore, but I think I recall Gates at several conferences in the last year or two bragging about how fast they could turn out security updates. 48 hour turnaround time? Interesting eh?
From this article dated 06-29-2004:

"Pointing to the average 100 days to fix a security hole in other operating systems, Gates claimed that Microsoft had dramatically reduced its turnaround time on Windows vulnerabilities to fewer than 48 hours."
Interesting eh?
Guess a lot of the IT press has just forgotten how to be journalists anymore. Only took me about 5 minutes of searching to find one quote on this. Be nice if you guys would start at least asking them about these B.S. statements versus what they are actually delivering. The facts versus their claims speak for themselves and smell of the BS is overwhelming to any that care to check.
