I am glad they didn't wait until the next Patch Tuesday to release this patch. It is my view, a patch should never been held for Patch Tuesday.
As a former SMS admin, I know why Patch Tuesday is important for the corporate types...but I also know that corporate PCs make up a very small percentage of zombies and spam bots on the internet. Home users are normally unaware of current exploits, patch trends and rarely have anti-spyware tools or anti-virus software.
Which group of computers do you believe are more dangerous to internet users as a whole? Corporate PCs or home PCs?
Home PCs, of course. Then why is Microsoft holding patches back just to make paid security professionals not work on weekend? All the while leaving the home users out to dry.
Release patches when they pass testing....and forget about the second Tuesday of the month. "Limited attacks" or not...it doesn't matter.
Release the patches and let the corporate security professionals do the job that they are paid to do.
That is my 2 cents...
