Critical Internet Explorer Bug Fix

Microsoft normally distributes critical updates and security fixes once a month, on the day that is known as “Patch Tuesday”, the second Tuesday of the month. Rarely do we see updates come from Redmond outside of that schedule, but this week there was one. This “out of band” update address a number of known and widely publicized vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer versions 6 through 8.

For more information see this Microsoft Security Bulletin, and update your computer!

If you don’t have “Automatic Updates” enabled you may want to check this out and make sure your computer is patched.

What version of Windows are you running?

Support is ending for Windows XP with SP2 and Windows Vista (RTM version) on July 13, 2010.
That’s just about 6 months away.

At a minimum you should be running Windows XP with Service Pack 3 or Windows Vista with Service Pack 2. It may be a good time to give Windows 7 a try. If you are not, you may be missing a number of critical updates and security fixes which can help your computers perform better.

What version of Microsoft Office do you use?

Microsoft Office is arguably the most common office productivity suite used on desktop computers today. Having said that, there are so many different versions (of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc) being used, each with their own set of features and quirks.

Which version are using using? (To check, select “About…” from the “Help” menu).

The current version of Office is 2007, where Office 1010 is just around the corner. Having said that, many businesses are still running Office 2003 or even the older Office XP, not feeling comfortable upgrading due to new features and user interface changes, like the “Ribbon”. At the same time Microsoft continues to forge ahead, ending mainstream support for Office 2003 last year, placing it into extended (i.e. limited) support mode for 5 more years.

New computers purchased today are coming with the latest version pre-installed, often creating compatibility issues with employees, clients and vendors, as well functionality issues across computers within the office. It may be time to “bite the bullet” and synchronize systems across your organization.
