Woohoo! It’s Windows Update day!
Microsoft has released 8 new critical patches and updates, and as usual, the nerds at Slashdot have worked themselves into a lather about how the insecurity of Windows operating systems. While Windows certainly has its problems (I am bothered by zealotry on any side of the OS fence), I find it amusing/irritating that the regular release of Windows patches is immediately jumped upon by the “Winblows is teh sux0rs!” crowd as a sign of Linux’s inherent superiority, while the near-daily release of updates that show up on my Ubuntu box is ignored/rationalized by the same bunch.
