Description
These downloads are Microsoft’s 2011 every month security updates for Windows 7 64-bit, Vista, Vista 64-bit and Windows Server 2008 (and other Windows Operating Systems if needed – which is very handy in the event you require to update different releases across a network). The list starts from the latest release and goes backwards down the page. You will require to also download the 2009 patches – see the Windows section for a complete listing. The every month updates listed are the official Microsoft security update package in .ISO format, A few are updates are in the standard MSU format.
The files that are in ISO format can be burnt to a CD/DVD, virtually mounted or opened with an ISO viewer. In the event you have no experience with ISOs, Google can answer most questions. The ISO’s have the advantage that they can be used on all Operating Systems from Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7 right through to Server 2003, 2008 and 64-bit releases. The disadvatage is that they are immense (usually ranging from 500-1500+MB for each month).
The downloads are usually huge as they contain every patch released in a specific month for all supported Microsoft operating systems – including Windows Media Player updates (the smaller individual patches for Windows XP 32-bit and Windows 7 32-bit are obtainable in the Windows section).
