I wanted to get prepared for the updates for this Tuesday and I thought I’d go through them and list what Microsoft said about each. These are what’s been said on Technet and I am sure there will be more. Each one of these don’t look to serious but I will post Tuesday if there is anything I’ve missed on this post. As you might know this is not set in stone but just the direction of Microsoft for this Months Release.
