Another Super Week of Updates at Microsoft

This week Microsoft released over 49 updates in the Download Center.  Pretty suprising considering this wasn’t a standard “Super Tuesday” week.  Many of the updates are targeted toward Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 with a few tossed in for Vista and others programs.  I grabbed the list from MicrosoftPost where I track what hits the Microsoft Download Center.  Feel free to take a look at the site or click the updates I linked to below.

Looking at many of the Windows 7 updates, they are mainly stability updates however since most of these don’t show up for download via Windows Update, I thought I’d throw them all out there for you to take a look at and grab.  Several of the updates should also make your ears perk if your a system admin as well (Power Shell, System Rediness Tools update etc…).  Just don’t forget to download the right update (x64 vs. x86 or 32-bit).

Happy reading!
