Microsoft to release four critical patches

Only 4? That is a pretty darn good record considering how many days its been since the last set of patches. Microsoft's improved security initiative is really paying off.

"Critical" is the most severe ranking Microsoft assigns to security flaws, which typically indicates a system can be compromised remotely with little interaction required by the user.

Key word here is typically, that doesn't mean always. This whole paragraph could have been left out since that may not be the case with these 4 fixes.

Ironically, Microsoft has touted Vista as its most secure version of Windows to date, but even last April the software giant had to issue an emergency update that fell out of its usual monthly patch cycle.

What is so ironic about that? Vista is the most secure version of Windows ever, but to think there will be absolutely no security fixes is just ignorance on your part. Read Ryan Naraine's blog about how Vista was more secure than other operating systems. The truth will set you free.
