Apple Monster Update Fixes 41 Mac OS X, Safari Vulnerabilities
http://blogs.zdnet.com:80/security/?p=666

Apple today released a monster update to provide belated cover for at least 41 security holes in its flagship Mac operating system.

With Security Update 2007-008 and Mac OS X v10.4.11, Apple patches multiple “highly critical” flaws that could cause unexpected system shutdowns, drive-by-malware downloads and remote code execution attacks.

The company also shipped a new version of Safari for Windows (beta) to patch 10 browser vulnerabilities affecting Windows XP and Vista users.

1. Good Thing They Caught This
I'll have to check to see if I got that update. I love OS X! Most stable system I have ever used. Not one virus in 15 years of using apple's computers. I really don't understand why people get so personal regarding a company that makes such solid computer systems. Lot's bash Apple over silly things, which really never warrant nastiness. All companies have issues but Apple has proven to be versatile, reliable, stable and very creative. Just wish I could buy the new Quad. Yowzaaaaaa.
