Why is this Patch Tuesday different than other Patch Tuesdays?

What is that you say? What is so different about this Patch Tuesday.  For my Jewish friends out there, am I adding another question to the existing 4. Well it ain't cause we eat unleavened bread or anything like that.  This Patch Tuesday will go down in history as the first Patch Tuesday to contain a specific patch for a vulnerability in the vaunted Vista.  Oh well, it was good while it lasted but did you think there would never be one.

According to this article in TechNewsWorld, the Vista vulnerability is not critical but only moderate. However, unlike other vulnerabilities that effected Vista, this is the first one that effects only Vista and is probably a flaw in the newer core.  There is some good commentary about the other patches in this release including some quotes from the security architect at Vernier Network, Mark Loveless.  What a great name for a security guy!

Anyway, by now your patching process is probably pretty standard so hopefully you are protected already.
