Why is Windows STILL being patched?

Justa quick rant...i was reading an article on cnet about some more security issues (11 in all) that need to be patched for XP (not Vista) on the next update....usually...I just shake my head and say "ok...I'll take care of it when I get home..."

the article by the way: http://news.com.com/8301-10784_3-974...?tag=cnetfd.mt

but u know...this begs the question.....after 6 years and two major patches....why are there STILL holes in the system?

it used to be a time when some majors peices of software would be released and then after awhile no more patches are needed...but XP still needs patches....? after all this time? it still scares me to even think about upgrading to Vista...it's like going from one peice of halfway working tool to another less reliable tool....

We have a Mac in our home and the last time anything needed an update (NOT A PATCH) was my itunes....and in the 2 years we have had it no problem....siiiiigh...too bad Microsoft can't pull the same trick....

tis all.
