All currently supported versions of Windows are affected by at least one of the critical updates. All of the Office-related updates are rated important, and one of them concerns Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac as well as the Windows versions of Microsoft's suite.
The bulletins are scheduled for release on December 13 at around 10am US PST (5am on December 14, AEDST).
