| Users are advised to review knowledge base articles that refer to the

| which are listed under the "known issues" section of the bulletin.

| The SANS posting, and feedback we're hearing, suggests the problems some 
| users are experiencing are more than these knowledge base articles might 
| suggest but at least these postings provide a starting point for users before 
| they refer outstanding issues they might still be having to Microsoft or 
| their support partners.

So, they basically know they have issues, but they deliver those patches
anyway. Last year when they RTM-ed Vista they did this as well. They said none
of the bugs was a "show stopper".

They should deliver betas of these "critical" patches instead. That's what they
do with Service Packs now, isn't it? This issue with patches recurs almost
every month.

| Patch Tuesday is coming up and again work will grind to a halt as

| payload of patches for the month of February 2007. This month
| we're looking at five critical updates related to Windows
| security, two relating to Office security and one relating to
| Windows OneCare Live, Microsoft Antigen, Windows Defender and Microsoft 
| Forefront; plus a host of other lesser related patches, 21
| one in all.
