Earlier this week we released the latest security update for IE, MS04-038. We’ve been working on this since XPSP2 shipped, and it’s nice to see it made available to customers on Windows Update. This update addresses, among other issues, the drag & drop vulnerability that’s been in the news & security circles lately. This is also the first IE update to use the our latest installation technology, so corporations who deploy Microsoft products and updates will have a more uniform experience doing so.

Phil, some of the other IE team members, and I participated in a web chat yesterday morning to discuss this release with our corporate and end-user customers – it was great to hear their feedback, concerns, and questions. Looks like the slides were just posted for people to take a look at in case you missed the chat.

Surf safely!
