So basically every Windows user is affected
isn't it nice that they love you so much they make sure the bug is in every version of their crap
Microsoft will release eight security updates next Tuesday to squash remote-code execution bugs in Windows and Internet Explorer among other flaws. Meanwhile, Adobe will issue new versions of Acrobat and Reader for this month's Patch Tuesday. Two of the security updates from Microsoft are rated as critical because they allow …
Sigh. Do you know how utterly asinine that sounds???
How about "they love you so much that they do actually take these things seriously and patch them in a reasonable amount of time to at least try and mitigate these vulnerabilities that thousands of hackers are trying to exploit on the most popular desktop OS in the world".
Sorry Adobe, but if we're having to have patches for what should just be a blooming document rendering program every other month, it's time for me to retire it. There are other products to do the same, and I'll be looking at Flash next. I'll be getting the firewall to relate everything from adobe.com as malware in future.
The May release will be the first in more than a decade to not include any bulletins for Windows XP. The venerable OS was officially retired from support by Microsoft last month, though subsequent exploitation of flaws in the OS by miscreants has forced the company to issue an out-of-band update.
...and there I was thinking that the out-of-band update last month was to patch Internet Explorer, and the security-hell-hole that is ActiveX within it. That's not a flaw in XP as such.
unfortunately...
1 Preview doesn't open _all_ PDFs
2 Preview mangles some of the PDFs it does open
3 Preview has numerous problems all its own.
I personally haven't used it since, well... I never used it very much. There are other apps which open more PDFs, which don't mangle quite so many PDFs, and which have fewer bugs. (Graphic Converter, for one.)
