No previews of Monthly Rollups

The English translation is up on InfoWorld Woody on Windows, Signs point to Microsoft’s imminent release of Windows 7 “Service Pack 3”

As MrBrian notes in the comments, there’s an error in the chronology listed in the article. Office Security patches arrive on the second Tuesday. The non-security patches are on the first Tuesday.

Previously:

If you’re just following along because you want to, you know, get your system patched and be done with it, you can skip this whole announcement. Look for an MS-DEFCON level change shortly.

Those of you who follow along with all the gory patching details will be happy to know that there are no Previews of Monthly Rollups today, the “C” week Third Tuesday.

The same thing happened last month – there were no Previews of the January Monthly Rollups for Win7 or 8.1. Which is good because there wasn’t any January Monthly Rollup for Win7, outside of a single security patch – and there wasn’t any January Monthly Rollup for Win 8.1, period.

Microsoft has just posted that there is no Preview of the February Monthly Rollups. That’s probably because the February Monthly Rollups will only include security updates.

I’ll try to translate all of this into English for InfoWorld, tomorrow morning.
