Whatever. I think your favorite, Microsoft, gets most of its money from two closely related products -- Windows and Office. In fact, I suspect they're more concentrated than Sun. Not that many of the buggy Sun chips are out there, so the fix shouldn't be too hard. I'm considering putting more eggs in the basket -- but I want to pick my time. Maybe just before the market close for the long weekend (it's closed Friday, isn't it?).

If Microsoft is any indication, I would say software is very hard to patch. In fact, I think many of their patches introduce more bugs. Spaghetti ("integrated" if you want to be euphemistic) code will do that for you.

JMHO.
