    that MS doesnt care about security, only publicity. They don't care until it affects their marketshare, THEN they fix it.

    Everyone switch to Linux! Then MS will fix Windows!

    FYI, The items you mentioned are not in the Critical Updates section, which means they can only be installed manually.

    And you can always check the installation hisory on the Windows Update website, that is, if this can satisfy your desire to "know exactly what is being put on my system."

    If not, many people prefer glueing their eyeballs to the monitors to read every single compiler outputs from Gentoo emerges.
