Microsoft today announced it would release just two security updates next week to patch three vulnerabilities in Windows.

One of the two was tagged with the “critical” label, Microsoft’s highest threat ranking, while the other was marked “important.” Microsoft typically assigns a critical rating to vulnerabilities that can be exploited with little or no action on the part of a user.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
