Why does microsft keep patching the same crap?

So I check my patches once every week or more. It seems the patch for the same stuff keeps coming up for the same piece of software. Most annoying.
Very true :D.

There are countless security holes in Windows and Internet Explorer. So Microsoft releases a high number of patches. Some of them are incomplete or cause even more trouble so that Microsoft re-releases them ocassionally.
