These patches are applicable to all still commonly used versions of Microsoft Windows (going as far back as XP) as well as Internet Explorer, Silverlight, Microsoft Server Software, Microsoft Office and Microsoft .NET Framework.

The updates are said to become available at about 10am PST (or 6pm GMT) on the 14th.
