Woohoo!  Looks like you can take that vacation you were planning next week...  Microsoft announced that there are no Security Bulletins planned for next week's Microsoft patch Tuesday.  Frankly, that's kind of a relief.

On second thought... you might not want to take that vacation after all... instead of patching, you might be required to clean up some infected systems.

UPDATE: One of our readers requesting anonymity mentioned that this announcement may have been a result of the upcoming Sunday switch in some geographies to Daylight Savings Time.  This new schedule for DST may hose some software.  Microsoft might be trying to avoid negative interactions of new patches on Tuesday only two short days after DST conversion.  Interesting theory!
