Windows 8 is barely two weeks old, but apparently it's already in need of patching. As reported by PC World and other outlets, the new operating system's first security updates will arrive tomorrow as part of a package of fixes released during Microsoft's monthly patch-fest.

That may seem a little discouraging, especially if you recently purchased a new Windows 8 laptop with the hopes of a more secure computing experience. After all, Microsoft has touted such advanced security features as systemwide SmartScreen protection, Dynamic Access Control, and the Windows App Store, which carefully screens software before making it available for download.

But the truth is that no operating system is totally secure, and it's good to see Microsoft addressing known vulnerabilities right out of the gate.

That said, there's one very effective way to keep your system safe while you travel, and that's to use your laptop as a "dumb" terminal.

Everything will goes same, so security patches is really an expectation for the users.
