This is actually good news according to Microsoft spin.
According to their spokesman, "rather than an indictment of the security of Microsoft's software ... this may actually be a positive sign, with Microsoft reacting to the flaws more rapidly. ... Microsoft is not the worst [because} Oracle only issues patches quarterly."

Thank God they stopped supporting Windows 98 last month.
Now they have more manpower to fix the holes in Windows 2000 and XP.

I was pushed to give up Macs for PCs a few months ago. I was tempted but I didn't give in.
Thank You, God.

Be advised that the MS06-040 vulnerability has a public exploit available now through MetaSploit.
Considering that EVERY server and workstation runs the server service by default, every system is vulnerable to this exploit.
MS and some others are saying this has the potential to be a Blaster or possibly a Nimda level of exploit/virus.
