Microsoft out of band again.

Microsoft will be releasing 2 new "out of band" patches on Tuesday 7/28/2009.  "Out of band" refers to the fact that tomorrows patches are not coming on  the second Tuesday of the month.  The new patches are being released 2 weeks early because exploit code is already in the wild. I wonder if this "out of band" release has anything to do with that Blackhat conference in Vegas? hmmmm...

Make sure you do your Windows updates when they become available at 1:00 PM EST tomorrow.
