Re:Why Microsoft really patched XP

There's this particular style of writing blog articles that assumes that the reader knows all about the context of the topic (here: Microsoft has patched something, have they?) and the relevance to something (what, really?). It's a 5 minute brain dump for the author himself.

That's pretty much a pure example of what a blog entry originally was. Since the author is directly responding to an earlier story, he can assume that the reader is familiar with the context. Especially within the HN community, this is a reasonably accurate assumption. This isn't an article for Time magazine or CNN.
