Seven Patches Piping

Tomorrow is another Patch Tuesday, and Microsoft is getting set to ship seven patches, four of which are deemed critical. The patches run the gamut, repairing everything from Windows Server to IE (it wouldn't be Patch Tuesday if this puppy didn't get a fix or two), to Outlook and XP. The bulletins also address SharePoint and spoofing.

Is Patch Tuesday working for you? Is there a better way? Let us know at [email protected].
