Microsoft has released its first batch of patches for this year, one of the smallest ever for the company. The patches are covered in four security bulletins, but one is dedicated to Flash Player. The only security bulletin rated as critical is the one for Microsoft Office and Office Services and Web Apps. Starting next month the company will publish vulnerability and patch details on a new portal called the Security Updates Guide that will give users more flexibility in how they search for and view such information. The last time Microsoft will arrange information about patches into security bulletinings.”]
