Microsoft has released 11 security patches, six of which are “critical” and five of which are “important”, according to the software giant. This month’s “Patch Tuesday” did not include a patch that had been promised in Microsoft’s advance notification for February 2008. Microsoft could not be reached for comment at the time of writing to say why the patch had not been included.

A little more than one year after its release, Windows Vista will receive its first service pack update in March. Microsoft says the pack will offer better compatibility with third-party hardware, increased reliability, tighter security and better performance. But unlike the last Windows Service Pack release, Windows XP SP2 — which offered users a new Windows Firewall, an improved Automatic Updates feature and a pop-up ad blocker for Internet Explorer — Windows Vista SP1 is largely a code update, devoid of new eye candy and very light on ‘must-have’ features, at least for home users. Most of the features touted by Microsoft are for the Business, Enterprise or Ultimate editions of the operating system. Our advice: wait until Windows Vista SP1 is offered to your PC via Microsoft’s Automatic Updates service.
