Does anyone else share my concern that the security patch process has grounded to a halt since the middle of last year? A rough count shows the following outstanding patches for the Win XP, Service Pack 2 platform: Aug 2007, 5 critical patches Oct 2007, 2 critical, 1 important Nov 2007, 1 critical Dec 2007, 6 critical, 3 important The reversed timeline as shown on the IPS web site: --------------------- 9 Jan 2008: MS08-001 and MS08-002 entered Evalutation Testing=20 19 Dec 2007: MS07-064, MS07-065, MS07-67, MS07-068 and MS07-069 Passed Smoke Testing. =20 NEW IMAGE NOT MADE AVAILABLE=20 12 Dec 2007: MS07-064, MS07-065, MS07-67, MS07-068 and MS07-069 entered Evalutation Testing=20 20 Nov 2007: MS07-061 Passed Smoke Testing. =20 NEW IMAGE NOT MADE AVAILABLE=20 14 Nov 2007: MS07-061 entered Evalutation Testing=20 15 Oct 2007: MS07-056, MS07-57, MS07-058, kb933360 and kb932590 Passed Smoke Testing. =20 NEW IMAGE NOT MADE AVAILABLE=20 10 Oct 2007: MS07-056, MS07-57, MS07-058, kb933360 and kb932590 entered Evalutation Testing=20 14 Sep 2007: There were no patches release by Microsoft for this platform for the month of Sep 2007=20 16 Aug 2007: MS07-042, MS07-43, MS07-045, MS07-046 and MS07-050 Passed Smoke Testing. =20 NEW IMAGE NOT MADE AVAILABLE.=20 12-Aug 2007: MS07-042, MS07-43, MS07-045, MS07-046 and MS07-050 entered Evalutation Testing --------------------- The last time patches were released was in June 2007. Can anybody from Invensys/Foxboro explain the reasoning behind "NEW IMAGE NOT MADE AVAILABLE"?
