Microsoft plans to have a fix for the recently disclosed Windows Domain Name System service flaw available by its May 8 patch day at the latest.
"This is a developing situation and we are constantly evaluating the situation and the status of our development and testing of updates," Christopher Budd, a Microsoft Security Response Center staffer wrote on a corporate blog Tuesday.
Microsoft is working on 133 separate updates for the problem, Budd wrote. | ||

The definition of the word "separate", however, can vary. Separate here is referring to the end result: when you add up all the different server versions & editions, and languages, the final number of permutations is 133. However, don't think that they are doing the same engineering work 133 times; I imagine the developer who made the actual fix did it once for win2k and once for win2003, and then automated tools went ahead and did whatever work was needed for supporting the various editions/languages.
Vista is a huge step forward, in that they have FINALLY separated out the language-specific resources into separate files. That way when all they need to do is change the code, they can release a single patch for all languages. It also means that international corporations only need to test and deploy a single patch as well. |

#1, Excellent points.
The did the same things with language localization and enabled the use of different languages for different profiles on teh same machine. Do you know if they used the same techniques and how one would deploy multiple languages for the same profile - it would be fun to switch between different languages within the same profile on the same box - thanks. |

RE: #2
Or 133 parts which they need to check in the DNS to make sure that not only that the error has been fixed, but to audit other key parts which could be affected - call it a double check; can never check too many times. |
