On Tuesday Windows Vista will receive five updates as part of the monthly Security Bulletin. Vista itself is to receive 3 critical and two important, while the other two are for features installed by default with Vista. In addition to these updates, Office users will get a number more for a total of twelve security bulletins. Here’s how they break down:
- Two Critical updates for remote code execution issues with Vista.
- A Critical update for a remote code execution issue with IE7.
- An Important update for a denial of service issue with Vista.
- An Important update for an elevation of privileges issue with IIS.

IIS is not installed by default, so the most of users will only get 4 patches.

Are these security fixes included in SP1?
Or if I reinstall clean Vista SP1 system from the new SP1 ISO Install disk when it appears in March; does this mean I am going have to immediately have a load of extra security fixes to install straight on top??
SP1 = superceded before it even arrives!

These will definitely not be in SP1. The window for that closed some time ago, so yes, after installing a fresh SP1 machine, you’ll still have updates to apply. That will always be true. With Windows XP right now, I have to install 147 updates after the clean SP2 install. Thankfully I have it all scripted!
