Slew of Windows patches coming

Microsoft will ship eight security patches Tuesday, one marked critical, officials said.

Whatever the details, there is still plenty of work ahead for Microsoft since there are at least 20 unpatched flaws in Internet Explorer alone, according to research firm Secunia.
