Purpose of the Advance Notification Alert

This is intended to help our customers plan for the deployment of these security updates more effectively.

Information will NOT be provided about Non-security updates released on other days.

 

Regarding Information Consistency

 

We strive to provide you with accurate information in static (this mail) and dynamic (web-based) content. Microsoft’s security content posted to the web is occasionally updated to reflect late-breaking information. If this results in an inconsistency between the information here and the information in Microsoft’s web-based security content, the information in Microsoft’s web-based security content is authoritative.

 

If you have any questions regarding this alert please contact your Technical Account Manager or Application Development Consultant.
