Microsoft released three security patches for its prevalent Office line of software and one for the Windows operating system on Tuesday, fixing holes that could let an outsider take control of an unwitting victim's computer. Two of the Office vulnerabilities and the Windows hole were deemed critical, the company's highest threat level.

Is it only me?
What makes people believe that a reader of the opensuse.org Mailinglist should be by any means interested in what security holes Microsoft fixes in their products? Does this affect me as a openSUSE user? I don't think so.
So please people. Keep this list on the topic of what it is. People being interested in the MS Products and their failures will subscribe to a list where such things are discussed and announced. Otherwise the next one will start to post that a car company is putting a new break system in his car...
While I understand your point you must also become aware that many people run Windows programs inside a Linux distro so information like
the one above is not all that irrelevant to readers of this forum.
Cheers.
Basil, I completely see that other users (and besides, even me) also run different products, from different manufacturers. But still, I believe, that a forum / mailinglist should stay on it's topic. Or I can start to forward all the security advisors (even for some linux products like samba and whatever... which, IMO, would be MORE on the topic of this list)... but I'm sure nobody wants them. To be informed on the products you need / use, subscribe to the respective information channels of this very product.
