    Security Updates for Microsoft Office are available, including Office 2010, 2013 and 2016.

    There are also .NET Rollups and Security-only patches for Win7/8.1 this month.

    Unless you have a specific reason to install updates, you should wait until Susan Bradley (Patch Lady) has had time to evaluate them and/or Woody gives the DEFCON go-ahead. Patch reliability is unknown at this time.
