If they don't force patches on their users, people scream bloody murder that they aren't doing enough to curb the spread of malware. If they force patches out and problems pop up (which they inevitably will, on occasion), they're reamed for not being careful enough. No matter how careful they are, bugs WILL happen, especially when critical patches are rushed out the door.<br> <br> Having said all of that, I still don't feel sorry for them. They're the 800-lb. gorilla, and they can take their lumps. Sometimes, it seems like MS is damned if they do, damned if they don’t.
