   Has there been any reported affect when MS10-039 has been installed on workstation clients?

   Woody –

   Just wanted to drop a note about your InfoWorld post…(doing it here since I don’t have an InfoWorld account)

   Please note that the link you describe as “Microsoft’s SharePoint TechNet blog” actually leads to a thread at Microsoft’s TechNet community forums, a free support site where anyone can post and respond to questions and issues, not an official Microsoft blog site or authoritative source on SharePoint content. The users you refer to as “Bloggers” are IT Pros, admins, and developers who use SharePoint on a daily basis around the world and do not necessarily have a direct affiliation with Microsoft.

   The Microsoft SharePoint Product Team’s blog is found at http://blogs.msdn.com/SharePoint, and I would expect that to be the authoritative source of information on this issue if Microsoft decides to make an official statement regarding it. I’m not saying that what you’re reporting isn’t an issue, but I did want to make you aware that what you’re referencing as a source is not described accurately.

   Points well taken. I still haven’t seen an official posting.

   Dear Woody,

   Are any other of the June Black Tuesday patches problematic?

   So far I haven’t seen any major cries of pain, but I’m still skeptical. Wait a week…

   .NET updates are always a pain in the neck. Wait until I raise an all-clear.

   I’m confused about the June patches (sorry! I’m new). Is DEFCON still at level 2? I see that at the top of the page, but I don’t know if that’s the actual status, or if that’s an example of what the alerts mean/look like.

    I’m about to change the MS_DEFCON level. Hang on.
