Story: Windows Update flaw 'left PCs open' to MSBlast

"the sheer volume of patches being generated by Microsoft means that companies are finding it difficult to keep up."
Ok, even thought I use Linux and therfore imune to these viruses, Redhat sends me e-mail every few day informing me of updates. There are probably just as many, if not more, patches for Linux than M$. However, most security patches are difficult to explote and will not give complete control over to an unauthorized party.
Users, like you and me, must take security in our own hands. On linux (Redhat) you run up2date. On M$ you go to a website and it downloads everything for you, you reboot a couple time, download somemore, then your "safe". Deal with it. You wear a condom don't you?
