  That much is hardly unique to Microsoft.  Among other things, Sun's
Java Runtime Environment needs fixes.  Plenty of application software
will need attention, too.  There's tons of crap software out there, as
we all know.  Even some not-so-crappy software might need adjustment
(due to incorrect UTC offsets calculated during data entry before
fixes were applied).

  What's (so far) unique to Microsoft is that they see this as a
profit center and business opportunity, instead of a customer support
issue.
