Microsoft has released a batch of patches yesterday which fixes a total of 20 bugs.

11 of the 20 flaws were rated as ‘critical’ and eight are ‘important’. The other one is listed as ‘moderate’. The patches are for Windows, Office Suite, web browser Internet Explorer, Host Integration Server, and Active Directory.

The article at Computerworld notes that this is the largest batch since August. In that month, the company issued a total of 26 patches.

“Today’s patches really continue to hammer the idea that the newer [Microsoft] software is more secure. If there was ever a reason to update to newer software, this is it. There’s no reason not to update, for example, to IE7,” said Andrew Storms of nCircle Network Security Inc.
