Microsoft Security Updates planned for March 2007

Oh, how time flies - we're already looking into Microsoft's "patch Tuesday" for March...
So, on 13 March 2007 Microsoft is planning to release:

Security Updates
. No new Microsoft Security Bulletins will be released on March 13, 2007.

Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool
. Microsoft will release an updated version of the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool on Windows Update, Microsoft Update, Windows Server Update Services and the Download Center. Note that this tool will NOT be distributed using Software Update Services (SUS).

Non-security High Priority updates on MU, WU, WSUS and SUS
. Microsoft will release two NON-SECURITY High-Priority Updates for Windows on Windows Update (WU) and Software Update Services (SUS).

. Microsoft will release four NON-SECURITY High-Priority Updates on Microsoft Update (MU) and Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).


The number of bulletins, products affected, restart information and severities are subject to change until released.

Because there are no new security bulletins, Microsoft will not host a webcast on March 14, 2007.

Interesting that there are no security updates. Have they finally sorted out security in XP?

I don't think so... most probably they had taken this month off.
