MS Patches Go For Quality Over Quantity?

greengrass writes "eWeek.com is running a story about another Microsoft 'study'. This one discusses how good Microsoft is at providing patches for their OS. This is Part 2 of 3 in a series of articles, the first of which compared Linux and Windows on legacy systems." From the article: "Bill Hilf, who is director of Platform Technology Strategy at Microsoft and heads its Linux and open-source lab, told eWEEK in a recent interview that 'the differentiator for customers is not the number comparison, but which vendor makes the patching and updating experience the least complex, most efficient and easiest to manage.'"

    I'd switch off the engine while replacing parts on my car otherwise I'd choke on the exhaust fumes or have to do it outside. Err. Do normal people really need an analogy to see that Linux is better than Windows? Oh dear.
