Snail's pace from Oracle

For all the criticism of its patching policy Microsoft looks like a paragon of virtue next to Oracle's latest release.

85 flaws patched, and this from a company that only thinks it needs to patch every three months. There's no excuse for this, as some of those flaws are very serious.

So, while its customers sit with insecure software and Oracle digests its profits and slowly stirs itself into action, the rest of us are left wondering why we're shelling out for its expensive software.
