Microsoft Recalls Botched Browser Security Patch | |

Thanks Brian. See, we were not dreaming when we advised there was a critical update for IE last week. Read the comments from that story here. A collection of long-awaited security patches designed to plug several critical holes in Internet Explorer was yanked from Microsoft's site Thursday after the company found problems with the fix. Approximately two hours after the cumulative patch for IE was loaded to the company's Windows Update site Thursday, Microsoft "discovered an error and halted the distribution process in order to conduct further testing," according to a Microsoft representative. The company did not say how many people downloaded the patch, which was designated a "critical update." | ||

Continued from the comments of ActiveWin's "Microsoft and 9 States Spar in Filings " posting...
Yawn! Its been just over 20 hours now... and Oracle's Store is still down. And in case you didn't realize it... their STORE is a single click off their home page. Its one of the main 6 buttons at the top of the page... right between PRODUCTS and their logo... LMAO. How symbolic. http://oraclestore.oracle.com I continue to send updates to CNet, but haven't noticed a new story on their site yet. I'm sure they are busy working on it though. LMAO again. Unbreakable? Apparently, it is also unfixable too. |

| #6... maybe if you would register with this site (mr. anonymous), then ActiveWin could more easily verify their reader base, then find more sponsors to pay for the functionality you desire. Until then... have fun reading my comments. And for Gods sake... register. Its no fun slamming a no-name. |

Isn't this the patch that was reported to be there, turned out to not be there and everybody was trying to find it?
Or is that a different one? Ohwell, I didn't install it. I keep up to date with patches, but I still wait a day or two to see if anybody has issues. :) |

Well, it looks like the Oracle Store is back online... at least 27 hours later. Don't forget...
"Oracle9i is designed to eliminate the need for planned downtime and withstand any failure" Unbreakable? Ha! Not this weekend! |

Well, ain't that just dandy...
I was a good boy and updated SIX machines with it. That'll teach me to listen to them... TL |

TL - Uhh... Why? It was barely mentioned, there was a lot of confusion over whether it was available or not. Didn't this make you go "Hmm, maybe I should wait?"
Sheesh, I swear most people just do stupid things purposefully so they can have an excuse to blame someone else for their actions. |

Sodablue,
Just who the hell are you calling stupid, man? Geez, get a personality dude. Anyway, these latest updates have been touted as 'Must Have' security updates. They WANT you to install them right away. Excuse me for temporarily believing that Microsoft might have it's act together for a change... TL |

I'm signed up for the security mailing list, and I have it send a message to my cell phone when important security updates come out.
I never heard of this patch until I read about it on various web sites after-the-fact. |

win2k sp3 delayed by 60days so they can cram in anything found\fixed during this months security audit.

| Ironically, the q316059.exe that I just downloaded (now that it's been released for "real") has files in it dated no later than 1/15/2002! |

| Guess it just did show up. Speak of the devil! :) |
