"640K ought to be enough for anybody." Bill Gates, 1981. "64 bit is coming to desktops,there is no doubt about that, But apart from Photoshop, I can't think of desktop applications where you would need more than 4 gigabytes of physical memory, which is what you have to have in order to benefit from this technology." It seems to me that by the time it ships, Longhorn will need 4 gigs of RAM.

"With no regression or integration testing, and often being updated several times within the time of the initial update."
Hehe...Microsoft has many of the same issues. I have many a time experienced decreased performance or additional problems after using Windows Update to get an update that microsoft took days and days to post. This is a documented fact (although I couldn't find an article on it right now).
You later say that Major distros often don't include the patch. Well...it's a free country I guess...LINUX is always available and updateable.
