The patch break could be a welcome respite for IT managers still
busy testing the dozen fixes Microsoft released last month. Also,
many IT pros may be occupied with the switch to daylight saving
time, which at the behest of Congress, is happening three weeks
earlier this year. Many computer systems don't have that change
programmed in and require patching.
It may be a "welcome respite" for some. Tell people how lucky they are
to have unpatched zero-day exploits sitting on their machines so MS can
retool its marketing machine again, though. I'd see the clock as being
something that is a little less worrisome.
