Deciphering Microsoft’s official Update Guide web pages is not for the faint-hearted.

Most of the information you need, if not everything you’d really like to know, is there, but there’s such a dizzing number of ways to view it, and so many generated-on-the-fly pages are needed to display it, that it can be tricky to find out what’s truly new, and what’s truly important.

Should you search by the operating system platforms affected?

By the severity of the vulnerabilies? By the likelihood of exploitation?

Should you sort the zero-days to the top?
