I only do Windows updates periodically. This latest time around, there were almost 40 updates to download/install. Most of them were security updates. This is good. I want the security holes patched on my machine. About 25% of the updates were related to Windows 7. Yes. I still roll with the Windows 7 operating system.
The big surprise was that over half of the updates were to the .NET Framework. What is the takeaway from this? Is .NET having a lot of security problems. Or perhaps a lot of Windows is now buried in the .NET Framework. To answer this, I would need to delve into each of the patches that got applied. Nobody has time for that.
Should I make time?
