Supersonic1425 writes "The BBC reports that this month's security update from Microsoft will be the one of the biggest this year.

This is why i'm using Autopatcher XP [autopatcher.com] (Annoying forum-based website), you can download the updates off them, see the details and unselect all the crap you don't want, without having to go through Microsoft and Windows validation. You just have to wait a while before they release the newest version.
