As well as what constitutes a fix and what determines start and stop of the
time period mentioned.
Seems that with the weeks to months required to fix IE and IIS holes they
could get an average of overnight. Maybe tehy're counting all the virus
updates from the anti-virus vendors as fixes. Still doubt they could really
average overnight. Besides, none of those are fixes. They're filters.
LookOut still hasn't been fixed ( anyone got a vet to recommend? :) and
keeps spreading its STDs[1]. That package alone means they can't average
overnight.
