November 2014 CU for SharePoint 2013 & SharePoint 2010

Hi all, 

just a quick note on the SP related CUs...

Joerg Sinemus just published the info about the SP2013 November CU and his colleague
Stefan Goßner posted the same for the SP2010 November CU.

The funny thing about the cumulative updates is, that sometimes they are not 100% cumulative. :) Thanks to Stefan who kindly summarised the expected CU / patching process in the past things are be a bit clearer when CU and similar system patching/upgrades are being planned. :)

One can also review the latest and greatest patches on the Office Updates site. 

Happy c-updating! :)

Why? No one wants to install Win Server 2008 R2 and then upgrade again to Windows Server 2012. With release of SP 2013 SP1 we can now focus on
