About

MS Patch Watch is a computer-generated web site that aggregates headlines and searches for issues people might be having with Microsoft updates and patches. Our goal is to provide a central location for Microsoft patch information to benefit the Microsoft user community.

Our content is generated by monitoring hundreds of blogs, newsgroups, forums, mailing lists, Microsoft information sources, and various search engines. Our site automatically categorizes each post by updates, months, and products.

Rather than having to scour the Internet when having a problem you can now search in one central location. Furthermore, while deploying patches each Patch Tuesday you can monitor our RSS feeds to see what problems others might be having, read articles with more information, or know when a new exploit is published.

Our articles are gathered and processed by aggregating and filtering hundreds of sources using various Yahoo! Pipes, then combined, further filtered, categorized, tagged, and organized using the AutoBlogged plugin for WordPress.

We make this content available in an easy-to-read web format or you can keep up-to-date with our RSS feeds. Our content is also specially formatted for mobile and iPhone users.

However, since this content is generated by other sites, we cannot guarantee the accuracy, authenticity, or validity of the content linked to from our site. Use prudence when taking the advice of others and when necessary verify this information with Microsoft or another IT professional. We are careful to respect the copyrighted content of others and will only show a small excerpt of the content we gather.
