It would be really nice...

It would be really nice to see Microsoft turn around a patch in between 60 and 90 days.
HA! That's too slow! How about 2 weeks or less!

If a small company such as Mozilla can crank out security patches for big issues in less than a week, than Microsoft can to since they have more (paid) developers than Mozilla.

Oh sure, Mozilla is open source, but there are only so many people willing to put forth their time and effort to create patches for free and contribute them to Mozilla. Open Source is nice, but it doesn't put food on the table.

Are you trying to say that a web browser and an OS are equally complex? I hope your not. And fortunately for mozilla, if they release a patch that makes situations worse, they have no liability because no one paid for their crap.

It shouldn't take Microsoft two and a half months to fix a security bug in their web browser not the OS.
