Ziff Davis is paid by Microsoft to sell the illusion that Windows Vista is secure

Summary: Links and information about Microsoft's latest security errors

MICROSOFT is a customer of Ziff Davis [1, 2, 3] and IDG [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], but the emergency patches that we wrote about very briefly last week are being covered by those publishers too. New examples:

● IDG: Microsoft Prepares Internet Explorer Patch

● IDG: What You Need to Know about Microsoft's Emergency IE Patch (also here)

● IDG: Microsoft to Patch IE With Emergency Fix

● IDG: Emergency IE Patch Fixes Zero-Day Flaw

● IDG's Microsoft Subnet: Unscheduled patch release from Microsoft? Pay attention

● IDG: Bugs & Fixes: Patch Problem Uncovers Hidden Infection (also in here)

● IDG's joke about "Microsoft Windows 7 Security Edition": Microsoft Windows 7 Security Edition review

● Ziff Davis: Microsoft to Release IE Security Patch

● Ziff Davis: How to Reduce Malware-Induced Security Breaches

Another source says that "Twitter Urges Upload of Microsoft I.E. Security Patch," but Twitter could just recommend a better Web browser or operating system that is inherently secure. v3.co.uk publishes "A week in security: Apple and Microsoft patch numerous flaws" and Mercury offers "Tips on protecting your PC" (where by "PC" it actually means Windows). Why not recommend other platforms as a remedy? ⬆
