Microsoft says it will issue five security updates next week to close holes in Windows and Forefront Protection 2010. One of the two critical updates does not even patch Windows XP, Microsoft says.

Three of the four updates for Windows will affect the 13-year-old operating system that Microsoft plans to retire from patching support on April 8. Microsoft provided no clues as to what the update will actually patch or where the vulnerability lies, but it should be closely examined.”]
