Windows 8 970 Published by

Microsoft will issue eight security updates to customers next week that will include fixes for Internet Explorer, Windows, Office and SharePoint.



From Computerworld:
Four of the bulletins, including the one targeting IE, affect Windows 8.1, the fall 2012 refresh of Windows 8. However, to receive those four updates, users of Windows 8.1 must have upgraded to Windows 8.1 Update, which Microsoft released just last month.

Of the eight updates, two were tagged "critical," Microsoft's most serious threat rating, and the remaining six were marked "important," the next step down in the firm's four-part scoring system.
