"That pedigree may not fill you with confidence seeing as Microsoft’s September patch dump fixed 129 flaws"

To be fair, it actually *does* inspire a little more confidence than you might otherwise expect. After all, presumably their tools have pro-actively uncovered most of these issues and are therefore of a decent quality.

If they were *not* putting out patches and fixes, that's when I'd worry that the fuzzing tools were poor quality as they were finding nothing (obviously a fair number of the flaws are found by others and reported to Microsoft, but I'd expect most of them were discovered in-house).
