IF you read the OT list, you KNOW that I post most OT there. The post here was 
a mistake, so get off the high horse.

  That was really uncalled for.

  Fred probably accidently put it on this list. He's been keeping them on the 
OT list pretty damn well lately, so I'd wager it was just an accident. Heaven 
forbid you ever make a mistake.

No it is not only you. Fred apparently has little else to do then bash
MS everyweek on this list. This is why I have added his address to the
filters and outright delete his email postings. I seem to remember him
being asked by several people to keep the postings on the OT list but it
makes no difference.

Basil,

I completely see that other users (and besides, even me) also run
different products, from different manufacturers. But still, I believe,
that a forum / mailinglist should stay on it's topic. Or I can start to
forward all the security advisors (even for some linux products like
samba and whatever... which, IMO, would be MORE on the topic of this
list)... but I'm sure nobody wants them.

To be informed on the products you need / use, subscribe to the
respective information channels of this very product.

Microsoft Fixes Four Security Holes


Microsoft released three security patches for its prevalent Office line
of software and one for the Windows operating system on Tuesday, fixing
holes that could let an outsider take control of an unwitting victim's
computer. Two of the Office vulnerabilities and the Windows hole were
deemed critical, the company's highest threat level.
