"according to the post the firm gets eleven emails about vulnerabilities an hour, 1,000 of which it actually investigates."

Of course you don't mean that any 11 e-mails about Microsoft security represent 1,000 distinct serious problems. Consulting the blog entry, I see that it's 100,000 messages per year and 1,000 investigations per year, maybe because this year's range of available Microsoft security bulletin numbers runs from MS10-001 to MS10-999. And maybe MS10-***. They can do no more.

Too bad about the other 99,000 issues...
