Thought this was on-topic and you guys would get a kick out of it... From: Microsoft Webcasts Thank you for your interest in tomorrow's December 10, 2003, Technet Security Webcast: "Information about Microsoft's December Security Bulletins" - THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED due to the fact that Microsoft currently has no security bulletins to release as part of the monthly release cycle for the month of December. What a pity - we won't have anything to do this month...:-D Regards, Amer Karim Nautilis Information Systems e-mail: amerk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John Price Sent: December 9, 2003 8:46 PM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: Discussion: Microsoft to release patchesonce per month 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. John >>> jimkenz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 12/9/2003 9:18:31 AM >>> Hi All, A colleague of mine went to a briefing at a local training center about using SUS server to deploy patches. 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/secur ity/ 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.
