When Microsoft changed its update process a few months ago, we were initially no longer able to quickly produce our usual assessment of Microsofts patches. Finally, I think we have a way to get at least some of it back, and this is our first take on it. Please let me know if I should change anything. I know a few people wrote scripts to parse the table. I would recommend that you use Microsofts own API to do so in the future. The layout of the table may change and screen-scraping is never a good idea.
What do the fields mean:
