Your numbers are way off, there's nowhere near that many patches needed post-SP4. My guess is you already knew that but as usual jumped at any chance to smear Microsoft, even with bogus information.

You are a moron. If you want to see for yourself... HERE is the link for the post-sp1 patches. Count them for yourself.

Do you ever get tired being such an obvious shill?

I always enjoy when someone calls someone else a moron and then offers up their "proof", and that proof turns out to be bogus. The page you linked to in this post contains information concerning fixes for issues that have arisen since Service Pack 1 was released. Most of these issues are accompanied by hotfixes that will resolve the issue in question, but they are not intended to be installed on EVERY machine, only on machines that are experiencing that problem. So, you can't really say that there are 499 patches that you have to install to bring a system up to date. That's misleading.

It's a lot better than if MS just said "Sorry, that didn't happen on our test machines so we're not going to fix it." I get mad at some of the things that they do too, but when you realize what a HUGE company they are, I think they actually do a pretty good job of solving these issues.
