Patch Tuesday Sets Record
Usually when you set a record, there's celebration, champagne, press
releases and fanfare.
None of that happened for Microsoft this week when it set a high mark for fixing no less than
28 bugs. The patches came out yesterday and fix remote code execution as
well as graphic device interface flaws. All of the patches, save one, are aimed
at clients.
The number of bugs is due to the sheer complexity of Microsoft operating
systems and applications, and the fact that Microsoft publicly fixes as many
flaws as it can. And you thought you were in for a nice holiday break!
