Microsoft Patches To Fix Five Critical Errors
Microsoft announced today that it plans to issue eight security patches that fix holes in its Windows operating system and Internet Explorer. The announcement came in advance of its monthly "Patch Tuesday" security release scheduled April 8.
Altogether, Microsoft is repairing five vulnerabilities deemed "critical" and three rated "important" in almost every version of its operating systems, including Windows Vista, Windows XP and Windows 2000, as well as Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008, and Explorer.
The announcement was part of Microsoft's pre-patch notification, which was posted on the company's Web site today. Microsoft releases regularly scheduled patches on the second Tuesday of each month.
