March 2010 Security Release ISO Image : Download The Security Update By Microsoft

Microsoft released a single security bulletin for Windows. The patch package is designed to offer an alternative to admins that need to manage IT environments without the aid of Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or an automated solution for patch delivery and installation. The March 2010 Security Release ISO Image contains just multiple language versions of MS10-016, a security update that was offered to Windows users.

Overview

This DVD5 ISO image file contains the security updates for Windows released on Windows Update on March 9th, 2010. The image does not contain security updates for other Microsoft products. This DVD5 ISO image is intended for administrators that need to download multiple individual language versions of each security update and that do not use an automated solution such as Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). You can use this ISO image to download multiple updates in all languages at the same time.

System Requirements
Supported Operating Systems: Windows 2000; Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2; Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 for Itanium-based Systems; Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 x64 Edition; Windows Server 2008; Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2; Windows Vista; Windows Vista Service Pack 1; Windows Vista Service Pack 2; Windows XP Professional x64 Edition ; Windows XP Service Pack 2; Windows XP Service Pack 3

“The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if an attacker sent a specially crafted Movie Maker or Microsoft Producer project file and convinced the user to open the specially crafted file. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights,” Microsoft explained. “This security update is rated Important for Windows Movie Maker 2.1, Windows Movie Maker 2.6, Windows Movie Maker 6.0, and Microsoft Producer 2003.”

In its default configuration, Windows 7 is not affected by the vulnerability, since the operating system no longer comes with Windows Movie Maker as a component. In addition, the Redmond company emphasized that Windows Live Movie Maker, the Windows Live Essentials equivalent of the plain vanilla Movie Maker, did not contain the vulnerability.

“The security update addresses the vulnerability by changing the way that Windows Movie Maker parses project files. There is no security update available for Microsoft Producer 2003 at this time. Customers can mitigate the impact to systems with Microsoft Producer 2003 by applying the automated solution to remove the Microsoft Producer file associations using the Fix it found in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 975561,” the company added.

An Awesome Patriotic Picture - Human Statue Of Liberty in 1918

During the WW I years, Arthur S. Mole and John D. Thomas made some incredible human pictures by using 18K (thousands) sailors or soldiers in uniform to create images. See Image Below:

This image matches one in the U.S. National Archives credited to photographers Arthur S. Mole and John D. Thomas, captioned as follows: "18,000 Officers and Men at Camp Dodge, Des Moines, Iowa. Colonel William Newman, Commanding. Colonel Rush S. Wells, Directing." The picture was taken in July 1918.

"Human Statue of Liberty" was one of a series of group photographs taken by Mole and Thomas during and immediately after World War I at U.S. military training camps. Each took up to a week to compose and shoot using an 11" x 14" view camera perched atop an 80-foot tower. According to photography historian Louis Kaplan, these so-called "living sculptures" served as "rallying points to support American involvement in the war and to ward off isolationist tendencies."

Right Arm: 340 feet

Widest part of arm holding torch: 12 1/2 feet
