Microsoft, Apple Ship Big Security Updates

Summary: Microsoft released 10 security updates fixing at least 34 vulnerabilities in Windows and related software, with three updates covering seven flaws rated critical because they can be exploited without user help. Apple separately shipped Safari 5.0, fixing at least four dozen security holes across Mac OS X and Windows versions, while Google patched 11 holes in Chrome the same day.
What's compelling: At least 14 of the flaws Microsoft fixed were in Excel and eight more in Windows and Internet Explorer, and the most serious bug sits in how all supported Windows versions handle certain media formats - a reach that touches nearly every Windows endpoint you run.
