Microsoft pushes out Windows patch ahead of time | |
|
||
| Time: 15:10 EST/20:10 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: John Quigley | ||
|
update Microsoft released a fix for a serious security vulnerability in Windows on Thursday, several days before the patch's scheduled delivery. The company is breaking with its monthly patch cycle because it completed testing of the security update earlier than it anticipated, it said in a note on its Web site. "In addition, Microsoft is releasing the update early in response to strong customer sentiment that the release should be made available as soon as possible," the company said. | ||

| Let's just hope that by pushing the patch, they don't break something else... |

#1: That is funny. For the past week, all that you have heard is that MS is slow to respond to a bug, and alternative software methodologies is faster to repond. Who cares if OSS breaks existing code if it fixes a security hole, but when MS puts out a patch that they took a few extra days to do regression testing, and it better not break code. MS was cautious to put out a patch because they did not break existing code. Now, Microsoft puts out a patch and you are worried about them breaking code? Typical. MS puts out software (such as an OS) on a 2 year schedule, and everyone jumps up and down yelling about needing to pay a MS tax, they wait a few years to put out Vista, and everyone yells about how slow they are. With every new change, the "press" and the ABM group says that it will force everybody to move to Linux. MS announces new code (DRM), and they are damned for it, Apple does the same thing and they are praised.
This is just pathetic. If any MS supporter says anything slightly negative against anything not MS, they are labeled as spreading FUD, but if you say anthing against MS, then you are talking about good, wholesome truith. |

| #3 - that is called being a fanboy. MS brings the Xbox 360 out at 399 and everyone freaks and says it is too much money. Sony could bring the PS3 out for 800 and people would make apologies for them and say there is way more value for the money there. Just the MS haters tend to be a little more hard core then most others. |
