This month, Microsoft is only issuing one patch and we already know it's not one of ours. That means that our overdue list will keep getting longer and longer,

Users can protect themselves by not clicking on any links in e-mails from unrecognized sources and by generally paying attention to what Web sites they are visiting. Locking down a system and not using the administrator account at all times lowers the risk but does not mitigate the vulnerability.

They are simply left in the dark and may ignore a patch that is super-critical to their environment. Meanwhile, the bad guy has spent the time to find out what was silently fixed.

It is the skeleton in Microsoft's closet. We routinely find them.

Overall, they have improved, there's no doubt about that. But unless they move faster on some of these high-impact vulnerabilities, we'll always deal with rogue researchers finding the same things,

All that has been done is that they have figured out the file system, which is not much different than the original Xbox file system. I would consider it a game hack, not really an Xbox 360 hack. But (it is) the beginning steps of one.
