Windows 24 Hr Vulnerabilty Patch - Would It Help?

Posted by Cliff on from the don't-hold-your-breath dept.

super_ogg asks: "In light of the recent Windows infection rate problem, it prompted me to ask the question: if Microsoft was able to guarantee a 24-hour-patch for a vulnerability (and hell didn't freeze over), how much would it affect the rate of infection seeing that a lot of people don't patch their systems? Would the rate of infection increase dramatically?"
