Microsoft warned system administrators on Thursday to prepared for
nearly a
dozen fixes, some critical, to its operating system, Office
productivity suite and .Net framework.

The software giant published its Security Bulletin Advance
Notification on Thursday, saying that the company plans to release
on Tuesday six patches for Windows (including some critical
issues), four patches for Office (also
including some critical issues), and a single patch for its .Net
framework.
Each class of updates will likely require a restart, the company
stated.

It's likely that Microsoft will fix two serious zero-day flaws that
online attackers have been using to compromise victims' computers.
The attacks prompted third-party developers to release their own
patches for the security issues last week.

Since November 2004, Microsoft has given system administrators
advance warning of coming patches, which have typically been
scheduled for release on the second Tuesday of every month, a
practice instituted in October 2003.

God I hope not........

Why not. You are very quick to point out vulnerablilities in IE6. IE7
is
a more secure browser.

I have no idea if it will happen this month but IE7 will be distributed
by Automatic Updates. It will be via an opt in process. No one will be
forced to use it if they don't want to. If they do download it and
experience problems they will be able to uninstall it. Myself after
using it in Vista I am very much looking forward to using it in XP as
well. You have finer grained control of the security features,
anti-phishing, and more.
