There haven't been too many Office updates recently, and I was at least expecting some today since they normally release updates for Office on patch Tuesday. I'm sure it's not 100 percent security issue and bug free! I've been keeping an eye on the RSS feed for the KB articles, the Office 2013 link disappeared for a while (the page was still there though). Also the Visual Studio 2013 link disappeared also. I've also noticed a distinct lack of updates for all Visual Studio recently as well. I'm not sure what's going on there! Hope that makes sense . It's almost as if Microsoft a resorting/re-organising how they go about doing updates. Take for instance Windows 8.1, the GDR/LDR system had seemed to be cancelled, but now they may be bringing it back? (or it could be unique to NETFX). It's also time due for an Office 2013 service pack, but it seems they may not be doing servicing packs for Office anymore? I've been a bit 'inactive' on here recently, but I have been visiting and keeping an eye on things (like when to update the Office 2013 lists).
Thanks for the detailed reply yeah, i also believe that GDR/LDR system will be used only in .NET updates

Isn't KB2907020 already replaced by KB2923398?

Yes it is but KB2907020 has extra registry key (InvalidFileServerCacheLifeTime) so like other similar updates (KB2581608, KB2695321, KB2752259..), this makes it technically not superseded
2014/02/13 Added: 2908518 (RDP8.0 Updates) 2915847-v2 Removed: 2896820 2905569-x64 Note: I re-worked IE Prerequisites lists and how it's provided, now there is only text file for each, which contains prerequisite updates numbers this change is to eliminate the need for duplicate updates in Prerequisites folder and original updates category.
Well, currently, only AD LDS & RSAT have shared "duplicate" updates, along with KB2574819-v2 and KB2834140-v2 how about we move KB2834140 from general, and replace it with .txt file in Additional/Without Platform? and we can replace KB2574819 in RDC8.1 with .txt file with same name which contain instruction to install from RDP8.0 AD LDS & RSAT duplicates may not fit this solution, but i will look into it
KB2574819 already in RDC/RDP folders only, i never add it to general category the right place for KB2834140 is "Without Platform" no problem
@abbodi Thanks again!!! 1. Answered your pm. So what's with KB2913431? Is it superseded? 2. What does enterprise mode unlock for IE11? Anything worth mentioning?
In order to eliminate duplicate "shared" updates in Windows7 Repo, there are some changes made to the updates lists the duplicate updates was replaced with text file for each, which point you to where you get the update in the same list But... users who already downloaded and have those updaes, you need to do a simple deletion task manually for one time to get rid of them. so before you load the new lists, do the following: - delete all updates (.msu files) in Folders "Additional\IE11 Prerequisites", "Extra\IE10 Prerequisites" - delete folder (yes whlole folder) "Additional\RDP8.0 Prerequisites" - delete update KB2834140-v2 from "General" folder - delete updates KB2647644-v2, KB2815860, KB2898997 from "Extra\RSAT Updates" Now you can load the lists, and you may notice and download the new TXT files for the above items, which are: Spoiler IE10-Prerequisites IE11-Prerequisites RDP8.0-Prerequisites Windows6.1-KB2647644-v2-*-RSAT Windows6.1-KB2815860-*-RSAT Windows6.1-KB2898997-*-RSAT Windows6.1-KB2834140
