PCWorld.com - Microsoft Releases Super Patch for XP

Update Rollup 1 consolidates 22 critical patches in one package.

Making good on a promise made last week by Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer to simplify security-patch deployment for companies, Microsoft this week released a consolidated Windows XP update that brings together 22 critical updates into one downloadable package.

The new release, known as Update Rollup 1 for Microsoft Windows XP, was posted on the Redmond, Washington, company's Windowsupdate.com Web site and includes almost 9MB of security fixes for machines running the operating system.

Software fixes for a wide range of Windows XP problems are in the Rollup, including 17 patches from 2002 and 2003 that were tied to Security Bulletins from Microsoft.
