is this really news anymore

Microsoft issuing security patches, is this really news anymore? When they find a problem, then fix them and just about every week they find something and they fix it. It's pretty commonplace now, so why keep reporting it? Now, if they did something really different, like fix all problems at once, that would be interesting!

Well people benifit by knowing that they need to patch their machine

Its is good to know through news about the defects because, it may help people to patch their machines.

Look at the brighter side, microsoft is finding bugs and fixing them instead of doing nothing!!

Fixing all security bugs is not gonna happen. There are too many smart hackers out there.

Not News?

How is this not news? Not everything in the news has to be people getting killed or servers blowing up. I'm sorry that this article didn't excite you. But it helps people like me who have to approve updates for my company.

News? Maybe. Useful? Probably not...

It may be news but unless your Windows computer isn't already on broadband, it's not really helpful for anyone except the scorekeepers. MS updates are automatically (by default) downloaded and installed on their systems. I don't see how knowing about these automatic updates will help those who, by the time they read about it, have already installed them.
