Is Windows 7 on Patch Tuesday Agenda?
Microsoft on Thursday released its monthly bug fix advance notice, warning IT shops that it plans to release five critical patches for virtually all versions of Windows next week on "Patch Tuesday."
Still, the warning notice may more notable for what is missing than what it will fix. Invariably fairly thin on details, Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT) advance notices provide administrators with a little early warning of what they can expect to focus on when the actual patches come out a few days later.
Patch Tuesday, the day when Microsoft releases all or most of the patches it will issue each month, is traditionally slated as the second Tuesday of the month.
