For those that have not checked yet, Microsoft pushed out about 20 critical updates last night for XP, Vista, and Windows 7 Beta. Apparantly there were some pretty big holes that needed fixed. I would update now if I were you.

Fear equals control and Microsoft is the biggest fear monger on the planet. Seems everything they put out is critical. Either way I have nothing to worry about because I don't bank online. I don't really care if Al Quida takes control of my computer. Since I'm still on dial-up any real hacker would commit suicide waiting for something from my system.

Microsoft is the biggest target since they have the biggest install base. Every hacker wants a piece of the big boy. Apple makes it sound like no one can hack their system and so there are no viruses for the MAC. I don't think that's quite the case. It's simply that Microsoft has so many people searching through their code looking for a way in. It's wise to keep it as up to date as possible.
The critical updates simply mean they are plugging yet another hole that some clown dug up.
