Microsoft to Offer Patches to U.S. Govt. First
by Reuters, 11 Mar 2005
What I don't get is, if a patch is fit to be used by U.S government,
why wouldn't it be for all other Microsoft users ?
Is Microsoft using the U.S. government as test bunnies for their patches ?
If that's not the case, then why wait up to a month to supply them to
the general public ?
