Latest security patches

Once again, Microsoft is offering security patches for a number of scary vulnerabilities. I no longer download their fixes without question because some have caused me problems in the past. Does anyone know which if any of the new fixes work by eliminating features of windows? I still can't send links by email from the file drop-down after the last fix, and I don't want to do anything similar.

 

Most of today's crop are new enough that any problems they cause won't have surfaced to any great extent.

However, I don't think you can safely hold back on most of these. The holes they fill will almost certainly be the target of a rash of new bad things over the next few days and if unpatched, you may get bit.

FWIW, I'm usually pretty selective about loading updates/patches/etc. I needed 5 this morning and simply loaded them all in one fell swoop.
