• New Reader, Acrobat, Flash patches — and a SinoXP push for Linux

    Posted on May 14, 2014 at 23:36 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    This just in from EP:

    Adobe has released new Adobe Reader & Acrobat security updates here new Adobe Flash Player security updates for May 2014 posted here.

    And I saw this on Softpedia news about the Chinese gov’t making a TV campaign for XP users to choose Linux. That’ll be tough to do for those folks there who are still reluctant to move away from XP.

    MS14-029 for IE is the first batch of IE security patches to no longer involve XP.  If XP users really want the MS14-029 patches for IE6/IE7/IE8, they’ll have to get a Microsoft custom support agreement to secretly obtain the MS14-029 updates from Microsoft.

    Good points. I’m beginning to wonder if anybody can figure out how to use the Server patches to IE 6 in XP systems. 

    (EP also asked me to put together a rebuttal to Tony Bradley’s Top Story in Windows Secrets Newsletter, Why continuing support for XP is bad math. Of course, I’ve long been advocating for cheap Windows XP extended support for the masses. Doesn’t look like it’s going to happen — no matter what Tony or I say.)
