I have seen this many times.
1. Security firm or Microsoft finds a security hole in windows and there is a press release
2. Microsoft patches said security hole in a patch you can get from windows update
3. a month or two passes
4. A worm using the exploit is released and proceeds to "pwn" the computers of people that did not keep their version of windows updated
5. People are unable to be productive because the worm now infects their systems
6. Symantec gains 10,000 new customers
7. People bash microsoft for creating security hole ridden software that causes their systems to get infected
8. Go to step 1
I think the dark side is corrupting me.
