Microsoft's Patching System Needs
Patching 12/10/2003 04:15 PM
Apparently, it's Microsoft's patching system that needs patching. Yesterday, we noted that Microsoft had decided to skip their monthly patching plans. However, imagine the surprise of the Microsoft people who made this decision to find out that a patch came out anyway. The company is apparently "investigating" how this rogue patch came out. In the meantime, I'm sure we can expect the patch patch sometime soon (probably not on the non-existent monthly schedule).
