More embarrasment for Microsoft

I’m not a hard core MS basher, for sure, but the huge Slammer worm that ran around this weekend (and will possibly reach new levels of disruption tomorrow), which takes advantage of a known SQL Server security hole, is not the only problem facing the Redmond giant this weekend. There must be a problem with their in-house mail servers as well because I’ve gotten over a dozen notification emails for Microsoft Security Bulletin MS02-061. Which is trying to tell subscribers to the Microsoft Product Security Notification Service where to get the (long available) patch for the SQL Server problem. Annoying and laughable, too bad.
