Windows security issues

Just an observation - at the time of writing this post, the Microsoft Corporation website contains the following references relating to security issues affecting their software:

"What to do about the Blaster worm and its variants" ... in home & entertainment
"Protect your system from Internet attacks", "Urgent security alert: Patch available for the Blaster worm" and "Locate host computers that don't have the 823980 patch" ... in technical resources
"Improve your computer's security in 3 steps" ... in Windows
"Microsoft's how-to guide to security patch management" ... in Windows Server System
"Virus notice: Microsoft never distributes software directly through e-mail" ... in today's news
"Blaster worm: Windows XP security patch", "Blaster worm: Windows 2000 security patch", "MS03-026 Scanning Tool for Network Administrators" and "Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer version 1.1.1" ... in downloads .... and more.

Makes you wonder why they're now hosting their windowsupdate.com website, last week's target of the Blaster worm, on a Linux machine.

UPDATE: This via daypop.com at technews.com - 'Microsoft Windows: Insecure by Design'. Just fill in crap on the initial "we want your details" page to get the article... I bet everyone does that anyway.
