Making good on a promise made last week from Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer to simplify security-patch deployment for companies, Microsoft Corp. this week released a consolidated Windows XP update that brings together 22 critical updates into one downloadable package. The new release, known as Update Rollup 1 for Microsoft Windows XP, was posted on the Redmond, Washington, company's Windowsupdate.com Web site and includes almost 9M bytes of security fixes for machines running the operating system.
