    No lie. Can't remember for which patch. It was right after they got burned on one of the many virus outbreaks.

    At first I thought, cool, they are really taking this seriously. But then, I thought, what does he really think I'm going to do? go into the office and patch 1000 machines before morning?

    Since then, we've just been getting these 'pre-warnings' via email. Which of course are marked as confidential.

    For the record, we are an enterprise customer.
