Did you notice in my email i said they "admit" it? There is no argument here nor there.
The reason for this (from redmond) is they cannot break computers that are out there. There tolerance has to be even below one percent ,and even that is too much and finally conceded with them on their points. Also, they do not "patch" they find the root of the problem which adds more time. So you should be seeing less workarounds of microsoft patches.
This is where the market for those third party scanners are out there for 0day or need to be picked up on by AVP's (which i must say have been doing better).
