Anyway, um voice-verified

Okay, so it's one thing to for us to reel at the sheer volume of these patches. voice-verified

You know, this is clearly good news, in as much as once these patches are applied to Windows, Office, and Microsoft's other software offerings, they will have though, you know, though all of those products will have many fewer bugs. voice-verified

But the impact upon enterprise. voice-verified

Prices, I think. voice-verified

must also be considered. voice-verified

Every piece of code. voice-verified

That's changed. voice-verified

Creates a albeit low probability, but not zero, of breaking something an enterprise may rely upon. voice-verified

The you know, again, the absolute probability of that happening might be low, but years of experience with Windows updates that do go catastrophically wrong has taught enterprises that unfortunately the probability voice-verified

It's not zero. voice-verified

Each month's updates must be carefully vetted and verified against an enterprise's specific use cases before they can be safely deployed across the entire uh install base with within a large enterprise. voice-verified

So the more that things are changed, the greater the chance of some edge. voice-verified

case interaction creeping in. voice-verified

So this creates a problem to a significant degree. voice-verified

The pressure to accept and deploy each month's updates is set by whether a specific organization would be affected at all. voice-verified

Unfortunately, again, if it's a thousand things, it's probably going to touch on a bunch of software. voice-verified

But voice-verified

in if for example, using my own case, from time to time, a serious problem would appear in Microsoft's IIS web server upon which my own company and online presence relies. voice-verified

So the first thing I do when that happens, I see something affecting IIS, is I read into the details for of whatever it is that they're now disclosing to determine whether my own rather limited use of IIS's ever-expanding suite of capabilities is affected in that case, and you know, specifically in that instance. voice-verified
