Only took them a month this time.
That can't be since Ballmer said the security fears some governments had about using Microsoft software were overblown.

"We think our software is far more secure than open-source software. It is more secure because we stand behind it, we fixed it, because we built it. Nobody ever knows who built open-source software," he added.

Apple and Intel, the dawning of a NEW era.

I thought it was funny that they admitted it was a known security hole a month old. It was only after peoples' computers were compromised that they attempted to fix it. Yeah, that really shows their commitment to security.
