It's that time once again. You know, that time once a month when Microsoft teaches you to wait patiently by your patching server, constantly checking to see if the updates have been dispatched yet.

Like we do each month, we like to give you at least some sort of advanced notice of what's on tap. And, since Microsoft eliminated its advanced notification service for everyone except those companies willing to pay for it, even a couple hours prior should be a welcome treat.
