What do you want first: the good news or the bad news? On the good news front, Microsoft will release on Monday Nov. 7 a security-focused upgrade to its free Web Services Enhancements package for Windows developers. The upgraded package is designed to make it easier for developers to create secure Web services.
On the not-so-good news front, Microsoft admitted that two patches for its Internet Explorer browser that were released earlier this year may cause some Web sites not to load properly. Microsoft has published instructions on how to resolve the issue on its Microsoft Security Center Response Blog.
