Microsoft slates critical Windows, Office, IE patches next week, including 'head-scratcher'
Now ... this is not necessarily a WOO moment!! But, it does let me talk about the less exciting side of computing - maintenance. It is estimated that over 50% of the cost of an application (package / program) is in the maintenance phase.
So, Microsoft is sending out patches - and diligent IT staff will be 'pushing' them out - changing images, updating and modifying their software inventory.
It is also said that software is 100% bug free. (Or ... no software is 100% safe in terms of security). As Microsoft and others find potential vulnerabilities, they develop 'patches' to fix the situation (until the hackers / others find other places to attack!!).
