Patch Tuesday - 14 May 2010
Microsoft released only a handful of patches
this past Tuesday. The first patch was a
vulnerability affecting Windows Mail, Windows
Live Mail, and Outlook Express. The second patch
dealt with vulnerabilities affecting Office XP,
2003 and 2007. Both are rated critical.
Another thing that comes up in discussions
with clients and user groups that we particiapte
in is that Microsoft has now added an unofficial
patch day in which they are posting important
patches to various products. While Patch Tuesday
is the second Tuesday of each month, we are
finding that the fourth Tuesday has also become
a patch day. Patches offered in the second patch
day includes Windows 7 and many business class
products.
Check Microsoft Update for these patches.

want this to be the forefront of our business.

circumstances and based on past updates and
service packs, you could take the view that this
service pack is no different than previous
service packs. However from those of us who have
taken the plunge, this service pack is
