Takes unusual step of confirming fixes for bugs currently under attack

Of the six updates previewed today in the advance notice, three will affect Windows, and one each will patch problems in Publisher, Internet Security and Acceleration Server (ISA) and Microsoft's Virtual PC and Virtual Server software. The Windows updates will be tagged "critical," Microsoft's highest threat ranking, while the others will be marked "important," the next rating down in the company's four-step scoring system.
