Yes, I just got them. I got 12, and it went smooth but does require reboot.
My system is XP Pro home edition, no Vista or IE7.

Good luck. JJ
 
Yes, I just downloaded 13 updates from WU (including one for IE7). Reboot is
required but everything went smoothly.

I only got 12 using MU - and a re-boot was required.
 
At first, this morning, http://www.update.microsoft.com/ was down. Later
I got 16 updates that download and installed successfully.

However, I was very surprised that .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 was not
offered as an update. If you have .NET Framework 3.5 installed, you
should manually download and install Service Pack 1 from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ab99342f-5d1a-413d-8319-81da479ab0d7

The download is 2.8MB, but once the installer is running, it will
download another 52MB. The install itself takes about 30 minutes.
 
I had no issues on my home Vista machine--and got 20! updates (mostly
Office)
However, at work, on a Server 2003 machine, something broke outbound SMTP
authentication last night--quite likely an update.

It was easy to re-establish the saved credentials, but I got a rude
awakening from the early-bird users who wanted to know why their messages
were bouncing.
 
no problem on 2 vista computers running home premium sp1
no problem on 6 xp sp3 computers

Will do my clients tonight and friday
I am doing a seminar on "how to keep your computer safe" to a library in my
area tomorrow so i will not be on here nor anywhere but there all day and by
the night i will be brain dead ;)
