Patch and Patch Again
,----[ Quote ]
| It wasn't just the server programs that got
| fouled up. Internet Explorer got hosed as
| well. One mistake scrambled Web page
| elements, while another causes a "Type
| Mismatch" script error on sites that use
| VBScript or a mix of VBScript and
| JavaScript. This particular foul-up nails
| every version of Internet Explorer from 5.01
| to Windows 7's IE 8. Remember, I did tell
| you that Windows 7 didn't actually improve
| Windows' security.
|
| Oh, and, this just in, Microsoft recently
| issued a fix to a Microsoft Office patch
| from August that could let someone take over
| your computer . My goodness, it's no wonder
| that some companies have staffers that do
| nothing but try to keep on top of
| Microsoft's patches, and re-patches, and re-
| re- well you get the idea.
|
| As for me, I'd rather spend my time working
| with my Linux programs rather working on my
| Windows programs. At least with Linux when
| something is fixed, chances are, it's really
| fixed.

Microsoft issues security patch for unreleased software
,----[ Quote ]
| "A security issue has been identified that could allow an authenticated
| remote attacker to compromise your Microsoft Windows-based system and gain
| control over it," the security update says.
|
| The more than 6,000 attendees who will be walking away from the sold-out
| event with the Windows 7 operating system software in hand could have been
| vulnerable to an attacker exploiting the security hole.
