Microsoft Takes a 'Patch Tuesday' Break

Phill0 submitted a ZD story about Microsoft's week off which says "Microsoft has no new security updates planned for Tuesday, despite at least five zero-day vulnerabilities that are waiting to be fixed. The patch break could be a welcome respite for IT managers still busy testing the dozen fixes Microsoft released last month. Also, many IT pros may be occupied with the switch to daylight saving time, which at the behest of Congress, is happening three weeks earlier this year. "

"Patch Tuesday" Break?

So they were allowed an extension to their "Avoid Releasing Decent Software" Decade vacation?

A positive note!

Don't be absurd. The simple explanation is that it's another evil Microsoft conspiracy to take over the world. How can you not see that?

MS will be busy applying DST to their own servers

which is probably the real reason for no patches this Tuesday..........

Perhaps they need a good lawyer like the ones at http://www.bozolawyers.com/ [bozolawyers.com]
