    PATCH WATCH

    Susan Bradley

    By Susan Bradley

    I’m always conservative, but this month you must delay applying updates to avoid side effects. Business patchers — you face tough choices.

    We are seeing reports of various issues with this month’s updates, some of which are so extreme that patching administrators in businesses have had to remove or roll back updates. Even for consumer and home users, I suggest holding off; it’s way too soon for me to feel comfortable recommending updates.
