Flurry of Security Patches

yggy writes "It's been a hectic day on the security patching front. Microsoft's bulletins for July include patches for three critical vulnerabilities on the same day that Mozilla releases new security updates for Firefox and Thunderbird. Not to be left behind, Apple fixed two Tiger flaws while Oracle issued a critical database server update." (See these separate stories on today's release of Firefox 1.0.5 and the 10.4.2 update from Apple, too.)

    when microsoft releases security updates, it's cuz the software is crap. when others do it, it's cuz the software rocks. no double standards here. maybe it's like when girls get naked. if she's good looking, makes it better. if your she's bad looking, much worse. microsoft may be bloated, but needs love just like everyone else.
