Looks like the documentation is starting to catch up:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/Default.asp

shows a link to MS03-047.

Haven't followed up to see if they are all listed, but expect that they are.

What is going on with Microsoft communications? There are
5 new critical patches for Windows 2K on Windows Update,
but I did not see any bulletins.

There is no way to click the "read more" link - it is
greyed out.

Microsoft has good customer communications or what?

Are these new patches ok to install?

What do the new patches do?
