Microsoft was scheduled to release the patch on January 10, 2006 on their regular patch schedule. They have since reversed course and should be making it available after 2pm PST today, so be on the lookout for it.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/hansberry/redalertstatic.gif" /><br /><br /><b>Update:</b> The patch seems to be available already (12:30PST) with Automatic Update. One of my workstations just downloaded it via AU.

Always good to have heads up on patches like this. Cheers. Duly downloaded and now comfortably patched. :)

Also see the Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-001 (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-001.mspx) for links to the download on different operating systems if you'd rather not use Windows/Microsoft Update.

Ditto.

OT: Gotta love how the media has been representing this as a virus. :roll:
