Cue endless fanboi comments about how none of this would be necessary if everyone used Linux, MacOS, BeOS, OS/2, DOS, CPM, an abacus, a piece of paper and a pencil..........
This post will now attract flames 'cos I mentioned Linux before MacOS or 'cos I mentioned OS/2 in the same breath as either, or........
<Yawn>

A week later a second load of updates are released to fix these updates.
Paris, well because she could do with her holes patching up too...

A security flaw in IE?? Say it isn't so!!
Paris because her underwear is about as tight as Microsofts security.

My pen was affected by a serious remote code execution exploit very recently.
A co-worker borrowed it without telling me!
Thankfully the stapler is bonded to the desk so doesn't go missing. I'm working on a similar fix for my pens.
Now where is that red Swingline stapler?
DAMMIT! *lobs CRT across the room*

Actually I can think of several users who should only be using paper....and crayons...pencils are too dangerous for them.

Indeed sir, because as we all know bad ideas followed by bad design decisions followed by bad implementation are all irrelevant and everything can be made good again by a brilliantly executed weekly patching strategy.

Malicious Sotware Removal Tool.... shouldn't that remove Internet Explorer if it is doing its job properly?

Slaine, are you:
- a rabid fanboy/fanboi, or
- a forum spambot, or
- an arrogant tosser who's about as funny as a dose of the clap?
Or perhaps all of the above?
STFU FFS.

You know, its not just Windows that has to have patches.
Ask anyone that actually uses linux and you will find they probably have a nightly cron to keep them up to date.
Mac users dont have to run updates very often because apple simply dont patch, they leave them open and then eventually think it might be an idea to plug the hole.
Admittedly, the holes that Microsoft have to patch are often alot bigger, or at least they were.
Not a flame, just bringing some perspective to the argument.
