Microsoft Corp issued its biggest software patch on record couple of weeks away to fix a range of security issues in its programs, including the latest released Windows 7 operating system.
In a monthly update sent to users, Microsoft released 13 security bulletins, or patches, to address 34 vulnerabilities it identified across its Windows, Internet Explorer, Silverlight, Office and other products.
It said six of the patches were high priority and should be deployed immediately. The patches -- which update software to write over glitches -- are designed to protect users from hackers or malicious software downloaded from the Internet.
Such an early sign of security issues on Windows 7 is potentially worrisome for Microsoft, which is hoping its new operating system will erase bad feelings among many customers who bought the predecessor, Vista.
Personally I feel XP is still the outright speed champ on current hardware.
