Patch Tuesday Enhanced
    The second Tuesday of every month, Microsoft releases and publicizes a series 
  of patches. It also gives a basic severity level, such as low to critical. Starting 
  in October, Microsoft will 
give 
  far more information about the actual threat these vulnerabilities pose, 
  helping IT figure out which patches have to be done pronto and which can wait 
  a bit. 
Microsoft is also hoping to work more closely with other security firms to 
  find and fix flaws. That's good news, but most of the security companies I've 
  talked to already report a good relationship with the folks up in Redmond. Not 
  sure how much that's changed, now that Microsoft competes with so many of them.
What else can Microsoft do to improve security and how would you grade its 
  current efforts? Send your "A"s, "B"s, "C"s, "D"s 
  and "F"s to [email protected].
