Micropatch will have a big patch Tuesday... Whats new?

I find it heartening that Microsoft calls these events big Patch Tuesdays... Rather than We actually fixed it this time "Tomorrow! Tomorrow" Fix Days.

Have you ever heard of a Buffer Overflow Error? (How many hundreds of times??)

Ever Seen the instruction in the pre-patch day, 'disable JavaScript?' (How many hundreds of times?) There is a reason they they call them 'patches'

It sure seems like Windows is in constant beta mode. Windows also want to call home and report errors constantly ,making us beta testers with an auto report home Bug filled Beta Windows. Worse yet is the price we pay for M$ junk.

HINT: to M$, We know don't become multi-billionaires because of fair, honest ,decent prices !hint hint!

Are they actually releasing one or more patches for Windows XP WITHOUT Service Pack 3, as well? I thought that since July or August, service pack 2 users were on their own. Just as something really nasty was "out there in the wild", too.
