Microsoft have released their monthly in-band updates for this month, curiously none are mentioned as security updates, other than the usual malicious software tool update. Obviously there may be updates for other Microsoft operating systems as well, so you should run Windows Update or face comedy reboots at inconvenient times later instead.
Interesting that they would push out an update that might prevent me from installing Service Pack 1, when I am running it already but I love updates and so it is time to reboot!
