  Anybody else get this?  Looks legit, originating address is from msnbc.com.  But can't believe even Microsoft would be this stupid after the rash of trojan-attached "patch announcements" lately.  Plus all security people have been saying that Microsoft would never email a patch out.  Or are they thinking, "Send this out so all the stupid people will click on this before they click on a real trojan?
