Please explain ...
I agree with you that it is good that Microsoft got the patch out early. But how does your praise of this act reconcile with you high regard (as made obvious by your posts related to other MS updates) for the strict monthly patch cycle? How do you decide when it is good and not good for MS to release an update early? After all, won't this cause system administrators to have to make an unscheduled update?

I'm just curious how you explain this seeming contradiction in your arguments.
