Microsoft To Release 13 Patches Next Week | |
|
||
| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: InformationWeek | Posted By: Chris Hedlund | ||

Microsoft gives early warning that next week's monthly dose of security bulletins and patches will be among its biggest ever. Microsoft on Thursday gave early warning that next week's monthly dose of security bulletins and patches will be among its biggest ever. According to the Advance Notification service, which pre-announces upcoming patches but limits the information disclosed, next Tuesday's roundup will include 13 security bulletins, at least three of which will be marked "Critical," the Redmond, Wash.-based developer's most dire warning. Nine of the bulletins affect Microsoft Windows. That's a much-higher-than-normal number, and three times what the company published in January. | ||

| How many of them will be meta-patches that fix multiple flaws with a single patch? |

#6 and the moral of that store is don't download pirated music. know where your downloads are coming from.
The only way you are going to get that trojan etc is visit the lower life places on the net. el |

#4 We'll never know - Microsoft don't disclose all information pertaining to their patches. They're just interested in trying to keep the number down so that Parkker and co. can go on in complete and utter ignorance believing that you can compare applications by the number of patches available for them. I'm suprised that they could only get it down to 13!
#12 Will they have a Service Pack 2b and 2c too? =) |

Man, that's going to be a long night...so many servers, so little time.
The whole "my dad's bigger than your dad mantra aside..." MS's patch policy is better than it has been and one can plan for in-band updates better than before. One thing I'd like them to do is extend the pool that they provide advanced details to. Small providers like ourselves would benefit from access to the updates so we can test more before proliferation to production. Also, more information about their impact testing on various server types - mixes, etc... for example, patch impact on a server that is a DC, which is also a GC and Exchange server running AD DNS, WINS, and other services...etc... That would be very helpful. I've heard som hint that their emegring roles based platform model will provide native support for better management and a native client for servers like MOM, etc... I don't know if it's just rumor, or if it will actually evolve along those lines. One can hope... |

#14 "Microsoft track record is much better"
Hahahaha, of course they are. I love people like you, Microsoft makes a big song and dance that they're suddenly going to focus on security for the last couple of years and suddenly you think that their overall track record is anything to be proud of. "...and you find the list is actually 30 items being fixed..." So you went ahead and you proved my point, that unlike Microsoft you can actually find out about every single patch that has been implemented. I'm sure you could even find the exact source code changes that were made! Perhaps Apple should make it a little easier for you to find this information, but at least it's available. With Microsoft you have no idea what was really fixed, how many things were really fixed, how those things might impact other things and there's no chance in hell that you'll ever see any source code so you can check for yourself what was fixed. I'm happy for you (I really am) that you are so blindly ignorant that you are willing to trust Microsoft without ever questioning them, the rest of us, especially those sys-admins worth their weight in gold are unwilling to put that much trust into anyone. "And then anti-Microsoft fanatics like you and tgnb drop by this site and lie and claim Microsoft is worse when in fact it has an excellent record ... much better than open source." You repeating your opinions doesn't make them true, just like it doesn't matter how many stories Fox News repeats won't make them true either. And you're both just as fair and balanced as each other. |
