Microsoft under fire for 'critical' 14-patch update | |
|

| Time: 09:30 EST/14:30 GMT | News Source: Computer Weekly | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
Microsoft is facing criticism about the size and lack of testing of the monthly security update it released last week, which contained 14 patches. Russ Cooper, chief scientist at consultancy TruSecure, said, "By supplying patches to 14 different components of Windows in a single patch, declaring many of them to be critical, Microsoft has forced administrators to adopt patches to all components." This will prolong the testing users need to undertake. He also suggested that the lack of beta testing puts a question mark over the quality of the Windows XP Service Pack 2, which is due to be released before the end of June. | ||
