Microsoft posted their advanced notification for their upcoming monthly update cycle. There are two security updates, one receiving a critical rating and affecting Microsoft Office, the other an important rating and affects Windows. They're also updating the Malicious Software Removal Tool as usual.
The updates are relatively light this month compared with last month. Microsoft has had some "out-of-cycle" releases lately as well, to correct the WMF problem that was so prevalent just a few weeks ago.
Microsoft hasn't always had the best luck with patch Tuesdays in the past. They've encountered problems and even recently, failed to post an update because some of the previous corrections actually caused some problems. At this point though, there aren't any anticipated problems.
The release will hit on Tuesday, March 14th. Microsoft will make available the accompanying webcast the following day.
