Microsoft Corp. is not planning to release any security updates on Tuesday, one of only a handful of times the company won't have security patches available since its monthly security updates began in 2003, Microsoft said Thursday.

Microsoft is currently working on patches for known vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer 7, Office 2007's Publisher 2007 and Windows Vista OS, but they are not ready for release at the moment, said a spokesman from Microsoft's public relations firm Thursday.

W2K3 Service Pack 2 (SP2) [webmasterworld.com] is available this week.
