Mini-patch Tuesday coming

Microsoft just released its advance notification for the patches coming next Tuesday.

There’s just one anticipated security bulletin, and Microsoft describes it as “critical” just for Windows 2000.

So if you’re running Windows 2000, you should anxiously await enlightenment and salvation. For the rest of you, get patched up now – we’re at MS-DEFCON 4, right? – and turn off automatic updates.

(What, Microsoft is still releasing security patches for Windows 2000? And to think of all the Chicken Littles who are worried about WinXP support going away in the next few years.)
