After a few relatively quiet months on the patch front we're back to the good old days with a bumper issue of security bulletins coming up. Microsoft releases patches in a bundle on the second Tuesday of each month and according to the
Advance Notification
, we should expect 7 patches rated as 'critical' and 5 rated as 'important' next week.

"GM has
introduced a new website
called
GMnext
. The site utilizes Wordpress and launching in spring a Wiki allowing General Motors to get better feedback on topics such as energy, design and technology from the community. The interesting part is the executives at GM are participating in the collaborative website. 'We're starting our second century at a time of fundamental change in the auto industry,' said GM Chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner. 'We'll use GMnext to introduce some of our ideas for addressing critical issues concerning energy, the environment and globalization. In the process, we also hope to spark a broader, global discussion on these important topics.'"

"The official word will be out any minute now, but in the meantime DesktopLinux has learned that Dell will be releasing Ubuntu 7.10 (http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS7924076658.html) on a laptop and desktop with immediate availability. And, as an extra added bonus, they're tossing in legal DVD-playback capability. In a word: "Neat!""

"Microsoft has experienced some criticism for its handling of its bid to have OOXML accepted as an ISO standard, including the
use of financial incentives to affect the Swedish national vote
, which resulted in Swedent
reversing its pro-Microsoft position
; and
failing to honor a promise
to relinquish control of the OOXML specification if it gained ISO status. Now, Groklaw has published an article that
raises questions about Microsoft's influence
on the upcoming February vote, citing concerns with the limitation of discussions of patent issues, public accountability of the process, and even irregularities with choosing the size of the room so as to limit the delegates opposed to OOXML ISO status,
as had been done in the past
