When you want to be the leader, you don't ask questions like that. You
recognize problems and you solve them and one of the problems today for
Windows is that MS is making it very difficult to keep patched if the user
doesn't want to put the machine on the net BEFORE it's fully patched. (a
valid security oriented attitude)

Microsoft has proven they have the ability to solve these problems,
windowsupdate is among the best and easiest ways to keep up to date, but
this is a continual complaint among their customers who don't want to go on
the net before being fully patched and it is something they do need to
address.
