March 2009 Patch Tuesday's a Windows-only proposition

Today, Microsoft released a trio of security bulletins covering all currently-supported Windows versions. Users of Windows 2000 SP4 through Windows Vista SP1 (as well as Windows Server 2003 and 2008) need to install the update for the critical Windows kernel vulnerability noted in Security Bulletin MS-09-006. The other two bulletins (MS09-007 and MS09-008) solve important vulnerabilities in SChannel (007) and DNS/WINS Server (008); these bulletins apply to Windows 2000 SP4 through Windows XP and Server 2003 only.

Other updates to look for include the usual updates to the Malicious Software Removal Tool and the Windows Mail junk email filter. If you're on Automatic Updates, follow instructions to reboot if needed after installation. If you prefer to be in charge, don't forget to download and install these as soon as possible.

I couldn't help but notice that my computer slowed down considerably during startup the first few times after I updated the new patch. Anyone else have this problem besides me, or am I just the odd man out?

It appears this patch Tuesday killed my Exchange server.  Got in this morning to a ntoskrnl.exe missing or corrupt error.  Yeah, happy day.  At least that's my only server M$ took out this morning.

The fix was reinstalling the X-Fi drivers, even if they are the same version. I went as far as to reinstall all the Creative programs I had previously installed. Let me know if it works for you. Creative Support HTML: http://support.creative.com/Products/Products.aspx?catid=1
