Microsoft has patched almost as many critical vulnerabilities in the first 8 months of 2006 as it did in 2004 and 2005 combined, security researchers said Wednesday.

 

"2006 already is a record year," said Jonathan Bitle, product manager with security company Qualys. "It's great that we're finding them prior to large-scale attacks, but at the same time it's a concern about the quality of [Microsoft's] code."

More than a concern, MS must be cursed but then again Windows is the most used OS worldwide. If it were some little known OS only used by say a few hundred thousand people the holes would probably go unnoticed for several years.
