Patch Times 12
    After tomorrow, your Microsoft software is going to look like the tires on 
  the Three Stooges' car -- full of patches! 
Microsoft is releasing a full 
  dozen patches tomorrow, covering everything from Office to Access and nearly 
  all current versions of Windows (for some reason, Windows Me and DOS 6.0 don't 
  get any fixes).
While most patches cure that old bugaboo, the Remote Code Execution, no less 
  than three try to keep hackers from stealing information.
In two months, there will be a fairly 
  big change in how Microsoft discloses its flaws. Starting in September, 
  the company will give more detail on the severity of its flaws so you can decide 
  which patches to install first.
Is your patching under control, or still a pain in the neck? Complaints and 
  advice both welcome at [email protected].
