Chris Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Will Microsoft step up its server capacity to meet increasingly heavy user demand for its monthly patches? Stay tuned. It's like clockwork these days: Every second Tuesday of the month, Microsoft releases its amalgamated security patches and fixes.Microsoft's customers have come to plan on this monthly happening. And many of them have programmed their systems to automatically download the patches when they appear — usually around 10 a.m. PST. So what's the problem? Too many users hitting too few servers. The result?
