Hey alda 

Thank you for the screenshot. For further clarification, the Compatibility Management tab displays compatibility information for upcoming OS versions prior to their actual release. From page 28 in the SFM admin guide. There hasn't been an announced date yet for the MR4 release, but look out for this notification on our release notes page.

I take it that the next update will include Meltdown and Spectre patches?  from reading Linus Torvalds public email, these patches are not looking good.

Hi,

Have you updated the bios on your DELL? Without updating your bios the OS will not be that effective.

Why are you so concerned about the about the bug fixes for your firewall, you have to have access to the firewall to exploit the bugs and if the bad guys have access to firewall to run the exploits then you are already in big trouble.

I have updated the BIOS (provided by yhe MB manufacturer) on my home XG with the patches applied and not noticed any performance hits.
