 Microsoft has announced their Patch Tuesday Advanced Notification for January 2010. Microsoft will host a webcast to address customer questions on these bulletins on January 13, 2010, at 11:00 AM Pacific Time (US & Canada). The notification states that Microsoft will issue only one bulletin this month, which has been rated as critical. The bulletin mainly affects the Operating Systems including:

  • Microsoft Windows 2000
  • Windows XP
  • Windows Server 2003
  • Windows Vista
  • Windows Server 2008
  • Windows 7
  • Windows Server 2008 R2
While the individual severity rating for Microsoft Windows 2000 is Critical, all the other operating systems have been rated Low.

The first security Patch Tuesday for this year has been relatively light that gives a great relief to Administrators.

Cheers!
