Microsoft Update Tuesday is Nigh
p2pnet.net news:- Tomorrow is Microsoft Tuesday security holes fix-it time. Is it a service or a farce?
“It’s the Thursday before May 8, 2007, the date for the May 2007 monthly security bulletin release,” posted Christopher Budd on the the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) blog on May 3. He went on, “As we do each month on this day, we’ve posted our Advance Notification. In it, we try to provide you with information about what weââ¬â¢re planning to release on Tuesday to help with your planning for the release.”
Gee, fellas. Thanks. And this time around, they’ll all address ‘critical’ issues.
Says Budd, blandly:
This month, weââ¬â¢re planning to release:
Two Microsoft Security Bulletins affecting Microsoft Windows. The highest Maximum Severity rating for these is Critical. These updates will require a restart. These updates will be detectable using the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer.
Three Microsoft Security Bulletins affecting Microsoft Office. The highest Maximum Severity rating for these is Critical. These updates may require a restart. These updates will be detectable using the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer.
One Microsoft Security Bulletin affecting Microsoft Exchange. The highest Maximum Severity rating for these is Critical. These updates will not require a restart. These updates will be detectable using the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer.
One Microsoft Security Bulletin affecting Microsoft CAPICOM and BizTalk. The highest Maximum Severity rating for these is Critical. These updates will not require a restart. These updates will be detectable using the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer and the Enterprise Scan Tool
And a partridge in a pear tree ……

Tired of being treated like a criminal? They depend on you, not the other way around. Don’t buy their ‘product’. Do bug your local politicians. Use emails, snail-mail, phone calls, faxes, IM, stop them in the street, blog. And if you’re into organizing, organize petitions, organize demonstrations and then turn up on your local political rep’s doorstep, making sure you’ve contacted your local tv/radio station/newspaper in advance. Don’t just complain. Do something!

And yet I get updates for Ubuntu every few days. Looks like somebody needs to start churning out patches when they are actually needed, and not hold them back just to meet some arbitrary date.
