For those who haven't seen, the latest Microsoft vulnerabilities have just been disclosed: four updates covering 20 vulnerabilities, 16 of them remotely exploitable, 8 of them rated "Critical" severity, most of them affecting ALL versions of Windows, most of them allowing a skilled hacker to take complete control of the system.

I note that the Outlook Express vulnerability patch goes by Outlook version ..... Hey, Microsoft, I've got a much better idea. How about just letting me REMOVE the festering piece of shit?

Oh yeah.  Don't expect to successfully download these any time soon.  Windows Update is being hammered.
