One of Microsoft's vulnerabilities is the quality (or lack
thereof) of their product. They recently released SP6a for
Windows NT 4.0, which is a cumulative patch, incorporating
all of the (still viable) patches for Windows NT 4.0. It's
about 53MB IIRC. They just announced (and were so proud to
have announced it "on time") their first patch kit for
Windows 2000. It's 83MB. This is progress?
