    Microsoft confesses to posting a flawed update

    Microsoft Corp. re-released one of its Aug. 11 security updates yesterday, explaining that it had posted an incomplete version to its own download center last week.

    The admission was the third time in the past two months that Microsoft has had to re-issue a security-related update.

    Users who manually downloaded MS08-051 since Aug. 12 to patch Office 2003 should obtain the second version as soon as possible, Microsoft said. People who obtained the update via Windows Update or through their company's Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server, or who updated other versions of Office, do not need to reinstall MS08-051.

    That update patched three vulnerabilities in PowerPoint, the presentation maker included with Microsoft Office, including one that Microsoft labeled "critical," its highest ranking. MS08-051 was one of 11 security bulletins released last week that patched 26 bugs, the most Microsoft has tackled in a single month for the last year and a half.

    So it's probably better if MS says it themselves, rather than someone from the "competition"

    @anon: they just seem not to care anymore,they depend on their world wide fame which took lots of work back then before those Competitors even existed

    I once got my hands into what you'd call the typical system running Win 1.0.
    It was a 80386 and its amount of installed RAM -1MB- was measured in KBs (640kb base, 384 XMS)

    Mhm, not really. It needs an old version of DOS to boot, which itself can only run from a floppy disk of very little capacity (like 300kb or so). And even if it you were able to make it work despite this, it'd probably go out of sync with our current 4-digit clock speeds and huge RAM amounts.
    In short: probably only inside a VM
