| week, eight of them pegged "critical," the highest 
| threat ranking in its four-step scoring system, 
| beating the previous record of 12 updates shipped in 
| February 2007 and again in October 2008.

| event with the Windows 7 operating system software in hand could have been
| vulnerable to an attacker exploiting the security hole.
