Microsoft's knowledge base...

When your computer alerts you that updates are being installed, and you click on the balloon, do you see a description of each update, and an explanation? No, you see,"this update fixes a vulnerability in IE7 that may allow your computer to be accessed by unauthorized personnel." This is from Microsoft.com in 2006:
As part of Microsoft's routine, monthly security update cycle, we released the following security updates on November 14, 2006:
MS06-066 - addresses a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows
MS06-067 - addresses a vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer
MS06-068 - addresses a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows
MS06-069 - addresses a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows
MS06-070 - addresses a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows
MS06-071 - addresses a vulnerability in Microsoft XML Core Services
How many people check the knowledge base BEFORE installing updates?
