Last year, 13% of Windows/IE security patches were played. No overall ratio

Putting systems and software has always been a dangerous thing. Patching vulnerabilities in massive amounts of code requires not only the numerous system and software versions, but also complex user environments. Want to be perfect? Stop dreaming.

Specifically in real life, Microsoft will release a batch of security patches and fixes every Tuesday, but now it seems more and more unreliable, it seems that something will happen every month. So, is Microsoft's quality control really impossible?

Not really. Everyone will blame if they get into trouble, but those who work and are obscured by the patch, but no one applauds, creates an illusion.

According to the data provided by Thierry Paqua, manager of the Microsoft Consumer Experience Engineering team, as many as 87% of the Windows and IE security patches released in 2014 were very successful, one at a time, without any flaws.

Looking at the entire industry, this ratio is already very high.

But on the other hand, 13% of Windows/IE security patches have caused big and small troubles, need to be re-released by Microsoft, and note that this is just Windows system and IE browsing. Security patch for devices, regular patches for non-security classes? A lot of patches for other software?

Unfortunately, there is no overall proportion, otherwise you can have a better intuitive feeling.

In 2014, Microsoft released a total of 85 security bulletins, which was significantly lower than the 106 and 100 in the previous two years. This shows that Microsoft's security work is also improving.
