   Don’t worry about the .NET patches if you didn’t get them installed. Wait until we go back to MS-DEFCON 4 before you install them.

   112? OUCH! Here in Patong it’s balmy as always. Beautiful outside.

   I’m not giving in to any of the newly released .NET patches nor the previous .NET security patches. I’ll just wait for the next service packs for the .NET Framework packages to be released and apply the new SPs instead.

   For those of you using MS Office, better install the newest Excel and Word (Aug. 2010) patches as soon as possible. All the other patches for Windows and IE can wait.
