Microsoft: Patches, Patches Everywhere!

Posted by timothy on from the and-not-a-patch-they-think dept.

Ridgelift writes "Even though Microsoft's recently announce they would not be issuing any new patches for the month of December, the boys at Redmond were scrambling today to figure out why some systems are being patched. The reason? They haven't got a clue."

    Microsoft says that they are going to do patches monthly. Are they basically saying that they'll only issue patches once a month? So when a malicious coder writes an exploit of a flaw, and they know about it, they're NOT going to issue a patch in a timely manner, instead they're going to make it more "intuitive" by making it MUCH easier to exploit security vulnerabilities.

    WTF? I just don't get it. Anyone have information to the contrary?

  2. No patches for december? by SnarfQuest · · Score: 1, Redundant

    What's this I hear from you about no patches in December from MicroSoft?

    They has been e-mailing me new patches all this month. In fact, they usually send me several to install every day.

    You should really double check your sources before posting misleading articles like this.
