Microsoft has just released nine security patches. They effect various versions and components of Windows, as well as Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player, Office, and Office for Mac. All of these patches that apply to your computer are important to install. I looked through the list and tried to find the ones that are most important, but who am I kidding--you need to install all of the updates that are appropriate for your computer.
For more information about patching and keeping your computers up to date, see my first Patch Tuesday blog entry. To update Office for Mac, see Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac 11.3.7 Update.
