Unless you have a specific need to install them, you should wait until Susan Bradley (Patch Lady) approves them and any problems have been reported. They are not included in the DEFCON-4 approval for the December 2021 patches. The January 2022 Office non-Security updates have been released Tuesday, Jan.

I’m happy to bring the MS-DEFCON coverage to a wider audience. Other alerts will continue as an exclusive benefit of Plus membership, as will emailed alerts and text message alerts. Henceforth, all MS-DEFCON alerts will be available to anyone visiting the site. We publish two kinds of alerts, one for a changed MS-DEFCON level and one for other types of information. Therefore, I’ve decided to make a change. We’ve been pleased that this change met with general acceptance, but a review of our alerts for 2021 has shown that the difference between our blog post and the full alert is minimal. It’s the reason the banner on our home page is so prominent.Įarly in 2021, we decided to post an abbreviated version of MS-DEFCON alert newsletters in our blog, reserving the full alert for Plus edition members. Our MS-DEFCON system has proven extremely popular. Posted on Januat 11:57 Susan Bradley Comment on the AskWoody Lounge Now maybe our inboxes will settle down a bit. They’ll even be updated in older emails if you happen to have saved them. The new images are in effect now, everywhere. What we’ve adopted now is, in effect, the same set of colors used by the US Homeland Security Advisory System (aka terror alert levels). We did not quite return to the original colors, which used a shade of green for both levels four and five. We thought this would die down, but the tea leaves were speaking to us – change it! The question we kept getting, almost daily, was which was worse, one or five, white or blue? It was politely explained to us that we should have used red and green. I thought that made sense because the origin of this site’s MS-DEFCON system was, in fact, the military’s. At the time, we conformed the colors of the levels to the US military DEFCON system, with white (level 1) being the most dangerous condition and blue (5) the safest.
Unexpectedly, one of the top complaints we’ve both received has to do with the MS-DEFCON banner images we changed back in May. We grin and light up when complimented we grit our teeth and bear it when our correspondents are less kind. Susan and I get a lot of email (we do our best to answer everyone).
