Re: finally.
And it is part of the "Windows Update, Critical". Not critical enough to fix it a long time ago I guess. It did succeed in turning me onto Firebird, so that's a plus

I just wish they hadn't set up that idiodic "once-a-month" thing. If people are too lazy to check for patches themselves every now and again, then they deserve to have their comp crippled. |

You got that right.
They should have fixed this within a few weeks after discovering it.

Re: Ugh...
That is not why they did the once a month thing. They did it because of the bad publicity they were getting by releasing a critical patch every couple of days. Releasing a rollup patch once a month allows them to act like there aren't numerous security flaws in Windows. In the meantime, those of us who were updating frequently are just left hanging for weeks at a time because Microsoft wants to save face. |

Ok, so Microsoft caved in this time and released a patch early. However how often will that happen? How many other people think it is silly to wait for a certain day of the month before releasing patches, no matter how bad it is needed? I think it's stupid.

Re: finally.
I guess it doesn't matter for me. I use Mozilla Firebird on Windows and Safari on the Mac. Besides, with Firebird on Windows, I rarely need to run Adaware like I used to with IE. |

I read the description of the critical update and if you believe that, it doesn't matter if you are using Firebird or not. If IE is on your system, you're at risk. |

Re: Read the fine print
Again....according to the description, you can have any browser you want installed and think you're covered, but if IE is on your system (even not as default) you are at risk. Again, don't know many details....just reading what the update said. |

The speed a server is able to send data is not just dependant on available bandwidth. I think he was trying to say windows will fall over under any minor load. |

Re: I Don't Like Their New Plan
Supposedly, if it is a critical flaw, patches should be released immediately. All others will be released on a monthly basis.
