Mikko Hypponen Patch Quotations

Everybody was hoping they would get the patch out before a major attack would start. Now it looks like they are succeeding in doing just that. Well done.

Companies should make sure that their patch procedures extend to all applications, including security and backup programs.

Everybody would like to see the patch as soon as possible, but I can't blame Microsoft for wanting to test it thoroughly. However, if a widespread worm is found before next Tuesday, I do believe they will break the cycle and just release the patch.
