    It only took them nine days to fix MS12-078/KB 2753842 – but why didn’t they catch the problem in testing?

    1. The #2 alert still remains in banner at top of page – so do not install updates yet?

    2. @Sanda -

      Yep, that’s right. I think MS picked off all the stinkers this month, but I’m going to give it a few more days.

    3. MS support KB article 2753842 has also been revised to reflect the updated files for the revised (V2) edition of 2753842.

      Fortunately, KB2753842-V2 has not cause serious problems on my computers and has not affected the font problems in the Powerpoint program installed on my computers unlike the original version of KB2753842.
