Why do Microsoft products need so many security updates? Surely after 10
years of development simple programs such as OE and IE should be shipped
free of bugs?

I'm sure every other product mentioned here has ten times as many security
holes. But with so many fewer users, and those that do often have other
security measures in place, it is not worth the idiots who write these
viruses and so on handling them.

And talking of part P, which we weren't for once, I wonder when will writing
software become part of the regs :-)
