I don't think they have Josh , as the expected updates appear to be non-security.

Thanks for the link, George. It certainly clarifies things somewhat. It'll be nice to have less to download this month.

Quote:
Download size (total): 7.1 MB
.
High-priority updates
Microsoft Windows XP
Update for Windows XP (KB929338)

This is a reliability update. Install this update to improve the stability of computers running Windows XP. This update prevents some Stop 0x1a or Stop 0x0a errors. After you install this item, you will have to restart your computer. Details...
Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - March 2007 (KB890830)

After the download, this tool runs once to check your computer for infection by specific, prevalent malicious software (including Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom) and helps to remove any infection found. If an infection is found, the tool will display a status report the next time you start your computer. A new version of the tool will be offered every month.

Mine are the same as yours plus the Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications tool; I read somewhere that there was a new one of these coming out. More about it here. I can't see the point of it if you've already validated your copy of Windows, it's not suddenly going to become invalid, is it?
