"If our goal was to
get everything out in 30 days or 60 days, we could do that.
But our goal is to get out a quality patch."
That's not true! They have put out countless patches to fix the patches!

Imagine how bad the patches would be if they put them out sooner!
Assuming they're making improvements to the first try during the extra
time, and they aren't simply covering up some (more) ineptitude.

..NET is basically bill gates' snake-oil solution to all those
registry/DLL hell problems. Bill Gates is a true genius. He's made
installing and maintaining windows apps so ridiculously difficult
and expensive that businesses and consumers will actually buy into
the idea of having their applications on someone else's server.

30-60 DAYS??? It should be more like 30-60 HOURS, preferably like
30-60 MINUTES. Okay, maybe couple hours is still fair.
