Following Microsoft’s recent practice of issuing large updates covering multiple versions of Microsoft IE, Office as well as both desktop and server OS platforms, the 13 updates for March probably represents the new “average” Patch Tuesday payload. Five of the updates are rated as critical, while the remaining eight are rated as important, together covering 44 newly reported security vulnerabilities.
