Tuesday Was Microsoft's Last Non-Cumulative Patch (helpnetsecurity.com)
There was something unique about this week's Patch Tuesday. An anonymous Slashdot reader quotes HelpNetSecurity:
It was the last traditional Windows Patch Tuesday as Microsoft is moving to a new patching release model. In the future, patches will be bundled together and users will no longer be able to pick and choose which updates to install. Furthermore, these new 'monthly update packs' will be combined, so for instance, the November update will include all the patches from October as well.
Last month a Slashdot reader asked for suggestions on how to handle the new 'cumulative' updates -- although the most common response was "I run Linux."
