Windows Vista sales about half of what XP was

The actual number is 22 that are Vista specific, with 14 being labled as important - and most of those 14 being security related. Just because they say it is for IE for example - that is the core of Vista and it is a Vista update! Kind of creative that they do that as a way to hide Vista vulnerabilities, but thats not the point. The point is you already half the patches as you have for XP, and with 40 total, you are still stuck in update hell. I thought this was expected to be a lot less on Vista??!! From what I am seeing, it is actually more on a month per month basis!

I'm blown away by the number of Office patches too for 2007 already.

PS. Let me boot up an XP machine and count. I know its a lot more, but it is also several years worth - not months worth.
