Windows Vista was released to manufacturing a year ago next week, and landed on retail shelves exactly nine months ago today. The automatic update process picked up only 35 updates totaling 93.9 MB in size. That’s an average of fewer than four updates per month. And the number drops to fewer than three per month if you start counting with the original release to manufacturing date, which will mark its one year anniversary next week.

According to Jim Allchin, who led the Vista development and launch “it’s the most secure system that’s available and the most secure system we have shipped,” he said. This means the number and severity of security updates Microsoft must release every month on "Patch Tuesday", should be reduced, Allchin said.
