SmartAboutThings writes "On the upcoming Patch Tuesday on July 9, Microsoft is going to bring some notable security updates, that will mostly deal with fixing issues in remote code execution vulnerabilities, which allow attackers to breach in. The security updates will be applied to all Windows versions Microsoft is still supporting (from XP to Windows 8.1)"

    I've been paying CLOSE attention to the moderation in this thread.

    At one point, there had been 7 posts that were modded UP. That number is now 2 posts. All five of the posts subsequently modded downwards relate to the NSA and back-doors in MS products (including registers users that start with a 1 point advantage--all sitting a zero points now).

    The only posts modded up, as I write this, are the joke/sarcasm first post, and a post that questions why this is even news.
