Meanwhile Windows XP and Office 2003 enjoy their final official Patch Tuesday.



From Hexus:

Another important thing about this Windows 8.1 Update is covered by ZDNet. If you already have Windows 8.1 installed you must undertake this update of you won't get any further updates, starting from May 2014. That's just next month. So it's very important for Windows 8.1 users to do the update soonish. Conversely people still with a Windows 8 installation will remain supported by patches and fixes until 12 January 2016. At this time Windows 8 users can't just apply the new Windows 8.1 Update, they have to upgrade to 8.1 first making it a two step process.
