Every Microsoft critical patch is tested by Foxboro and either blessed or not
and posted on the website of that status.
We can no longer supply as stated below consolidated on a CD or download from
TAC website directly.
We are working to change that.
But every smoke tested patch that has passed can be downloaded from Microsoft
and applied to I/A
All of the patches on Duc's list have been tested and blessed and show that
status on the website

You can mark me down for very concerned!
I spoke with Foxboro TAC and I'm told that Microsoft will not allow
Foxboro to create the ISO CDs any longer. Foxboro will only be allowed to
point us to the Microsoft update website. (not even allowed to link to the
specific patch). Still, that shouldn't relieve them of the responsibility
to test patches. IMHO.

[foxboro] XP Security Patches, whither art thou?
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-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"?
Duc
