September 12 - (HOSTSEARCH.COM) - Microsoft’s September 13, 2005 security update will not take place as planned, with failure to meet the company’s own quality processes given as a reason for the cancellation. In a bulletin sent September 9, 2005 Microsoft suggested it had “encountered a quality issue that necessitated the update to go through additional testing and development before it is released.” The bulletin went on to suggest, “We feel it is in the best interest of our customers to not release this update until it undergoes further testing.” Based on customer feedback Microsoft distributes security updates on the second Tuesday of each month and there have been only a few occasions when this hasn’t taken place since inception of the scheme. Microsoft will though release an updated version of the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool and one high-priority update for Windows. It will also take part in a September 14 webcast designed to address customer questions.
