It must have just been that instructor. I went to a M$ Security seminar Monday and Tuesday, and our instructor told us all about it. Nobody attending the event seemed to know about it, but the instructor was very forthcoming with the info. Now, for the part I didn't believe...... He said the reason was that WE, the end user, told M$ that M$ was overloading us with all these darn patches, so THEY did us a favor and cut it back to once a week, and now once a month.

I had told him about how Microsoft will be releasing bulletins and patches monthly and he brought it up to them. They knew nothing about it and the Microsoft rep that was there knew nothing about it also! So I thought to myself...who does know about it? Just to be certain that I wasn't dreaming when I saw this I went out to the Microsoft Security site and sure enough on the security home page is a link to Microsofts new patch release schedule and initiative. The link is: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/ bulletin/revsbwp.asp I find it very distressing that 1. A company that is trying to help someone with SUS/MOM etc can hold a seminar and not know this and 2. Microsoft's own people do not know it. Gotta love it.
