Reaffirming that we’re still at MS-DEFCON 2

There’s still no pressing reason to install the early crop of Patch Tuesday patches.

Computerworld Woody on Windows.

Correction: @teroalhonen notes that there’s no such thing as Win10 1511 LTSC. He’s right, my Computerworld article’s wrong. Win10 1511 is supported through April 2018, but only for Enterprise and Education editions.

But that brings up a related question. Why are the Surface firmware updates only going out to 1703 and 1709? What about 1607 and 1511? They’re both being supported.

UPDATE: We have a report of a BSOD with the Win7 32-bit patch. Details to follow.
