Time to go get patched & fix the flaws!

Microsoft on Tuesday published 10 software security advisories, warning Windows users and corporate administrators of 22 new flaws that affect the company's products.

The advisories, and patches published with the bulletins, range from an "important" flaw affecting only Microsoft Windows NT Server to a collection of eight security holes, including three rated "critical," that leave Internet Explorer open to attack. Microsoft's highest severity rating for software flaws is its "critical" ranking, while "important" is considered slightly less severe.

So I'm wondering how many more patches before we've replaced the whole thing?
I mean a complete IE download isn't that much bigger than the sum of the patches we've downloaded for it over the years

using IE is like walking on a minefield instead of just taking the safe paved road beside it. why would anybody strugle when its just better, faster, safer with mozilla firefox. I dont get it guys

its like complaining that your 16MB video card cant handle doom3...
