Hah! You wish. Just check the latest SANS & CERT announcements,
if you still believe that.

Oh, o.k., so the SANS "Survival Time" metric [bottom of the right
side of <http://isc.sans.org/>] is up from 12 minutes a while back to
almost 30 minutes. Whoopee. To quote from the linked-to page:

   ...
   The main issue here is of course that the time to download critical
   patches will exceed this survival time. In order to help users setup
   new systems, refer to our guide: Windows XP: Surviving the First Day
