Patch Tuesday...Again?

Let me keep this short and simple. Tomorrow is Patch Tuesday, and this one has a fairly normal number of fixes, tweaks and repairs. And, like most patch cycles, these fixes largely focus on remote execution exploits (is there any other kind of exploit these days?).

Unlike most months where Windows and IE get corrected, these patches are mostly for Office and Outlook.
