Microsoft Taking Longer to Fix Flaws
An anonymous reader writes "A look back at the last three years of security patches from Microsoft shows Redmond is taking at least 25 percent longer to issue patches for "critical" vulnerabilities, now averaging around 135 days to issue a fix. The exception appears to be with "full disclosure" flaws, for which Redmond issued fixes in an average of 46 days last year."

It wasn't necessarily because it actually took longer for them to fix these new vulnerabilities, rather, their marketing department just wanted you realize the immediate benefits of installing Microsoft Anti-Spyware beta.

I mean, when you consider how long it takes them to put the flaws in their products in the first place, it's only reasonable that it would take them longer to get the flaws back out again, right?
