Microsoft Security Bulletin Watch: February 2008 |
And now we bring you live, breaking coverage of Super Tuesday. Oh wait, sorry…wrong Tuesday. It is the second Tuesday of the month, which means it is Microsoft Patch Tuesday. Or, as we like to call this little feature here at SlipperyBrick, Microsoft Security Bulletin Watch.
This month Microsoft graces us with six Critical, five Important and nine Non-Security, High Priority updates. You can get most of these through the Microsoft Update site. Others you’ll probably need to download manually. Which updates you need vary, of course, on your machine’s specific Windows OS flavor and what you already have installed on your PC. Check after the jump for a summary list.




Microsoft announced yesterday that the much anticipated Windows Vista SP1 has been released to manufacturing (RTM) which brings us one step closer to getting a more stable version of the Vista OS. Many businesses will often wait at least until after the first service pack of a Microsoft system before implementing it to give time for any early issues to get worked out.
In a seemingly surprising twist, Sun Microsystems has announced that it will start building servers with its once-rival Microsoft Windows Operating system pre-installed. According to a statement by the company, they will start installing Windows Server 2003 on its servers that run Intel 64-bit processors and they will be available for purchase in about three months.
