Hi, this is Christopher Budd. We’ve been getting some questions from customers this week asking if we’ve seen any changes in the threat environment around MS08-067. We do have some information that we can share so I wanted to pass that along. Most importantly, we continue to see strong deployments of MS08-067.

Essentially there is no new information to report. We’ve seen no significant changes in the threat landscape since our posting of Microsoft Security Advisory 958963 on Monday.

Hey folks, Mike Reavey here, It’s been almost five days since we originally released MS08-067, and our tracking shows that security deployments remain strong. We’re also still unaware of any application compatibility issues with this update. Like we’ve said, we’re continuing to watch the threat environment. Yesterday, we said that our analysis of public exploit code that was available showed it would always result in a denial of service.
