I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that I can't buy into the "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" defense.  When I slap down my several hundred dollars for a MS product I expect it to be secure and bug free.  Of course, it never is.  Am I surprised? No.  Am I disappointed?  Continually.

Continual hot fixes, patches and service packs are a sad testament to the quality of MS products, and delaying any such updates for any reason other than to assure quality is unethical.
