I did a quick scan and it seems that this month Office is the main target of updates, along with one critical one for Windows Server (for DNS RPC attack) and one for IE7. Worth a quick download and install :-)
I also got this in the mail today: Apple QuickTime 7.x must be upgraded to 7.1.5 or higher.
