The fun thing lately with Vista is that you can pretty much count on not just one Patch Tuesday a month…but two. The last Tuesday of the month is another “patch release” time frame if you having figured that out by now.
One way to keep an eye on what’s coming is watch either the latest stuff from the download page: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/results.aspx?freetext=&productID=&categoryId=&period=&sortCriteria=date&nr=50&DisplayLang=en or Sandi’s blog… http://msmvps.com/blogs/spywaresucks/Default.aspx
Some of these “Second patch Tuesday” patches are not MUing or WSUSing down but you may want to grab a few nonetheless. I spoke too soon…most of these are MU or WSUSing down.
