For October MSRCTEAM releasing 13 bulletins
(eight critical and five important),
addressing 34 vulnerabilities, affecting

Windows,

Internet Explorer,

Office,

Silverlight,

Forefront, Developer Tools, and

Most of these updates require a restart so please factor that into your
deployment planning.

Among the updates this month, are *closing* out two current security
advisories:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/975497.mspx

Services (975191)
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/975191.mspx


Usually MSRCTEAM do not go into this level of detail in the advance
notification but MSRCTEAM felt that it is important guidance so customers
can plan accordingly and deploy these updates as soon as possible.

The target to release the October security updates is next

Tuesday Oct. 13 at 10:00 a.m. PDT (UTC -8).

don't ya just love Microsoft?

Late patches in droves is better than none, yes ?

 

[robinb]

making an OS more safe from the gecko is better
mac doesn't have all these patches
and yes Mac is more expensive
harder to learn, yata yata yata, BUT
it still has neither anywhere near all of Microsoft's patches when it comes
to security

Robin, Yet, another comment that is RIGHT ON THE MONEY! I got a new iMAC
in August for my home and it is simply INCREDIBLE...no more updates and
patches..thank God!

 

[robinb]

Robb
it is a shame that Apple makes the machine so expensive. You can purchase 2
pcs for the price of one Mac.
I would think with all the problems Microsoft has that Apple would learn
something here and lower the prices. If they did I would be the first in
line to purchase one.

I would agree, Robin, but I'm of the school of thinking that says, "You get
what you pay for!" Go for it, you won't be disappointed and it will pay
your time in seconds flat!

P.S. Getting rid of the grief is worth the price of the machine!

It seems that the Mac OS offers its share of grief:

The Mac OS and all it's supposed bells & whistles is not immune and I doubt if it ever was.
The now much hyped Snow Leopard OS is taking a licking.

Yep, I'm gonna go home and log right into my MAC as a GUEST...just so I can
wipe out all my data. GMAFB.
