I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that people don't give a **** about infecting macs. Everyone makes viruses, worms, etc for Windows because most people use Windows systems.

But I do have to agree that the number of patches that Microsoft puts out is rediculous. If they think for one second that everyone has the ablility to download all hte patches as soon as they come out, they are extremely dumb. I'd say that most internet users are on 56k, and when those patches reach 30mb, 56k users can't really just go download them. I'm lucky, and happen to LAN with a buddy every weekend that happens to have cable, so I can keep up with them.

But seriously Microsoft, get with it. Make your product right the first time. You don't have to release a new freaking version of windows every year. Take your time on hte next Windows and make it right.
