Microsoft's August Patch Tuesday will be relatively moderate, though it does address 22 flaws. According to Microsoft, 13 of the patches addressed in August Patch Tuesday will address 22 flaws in a number of different programs, including Windows, Internet Explorer (IE), Visio and Visual Studio.

The most important updates are to Windows,  Internet Explorer and Windows Server 2008.

Again, care should be exercised with the .NET update (Bulletin 10). No advance notice about this one, and no advance notice of what all these patches are for, which differs from other months, and which I don’t particularly like.

Transparency is a good thing.
