Ping Microsoft.. they were not classified as Security patches [not 
assigned 05-### numbers ergo they aren't on MBSA]

As Richard stated, they aren't security bulletins.

Heck I'd LOVE to get 835734 for the SBS 2003 platform merely on Windows 
Update and honestly I can't wait for WUS or whatever.  Right now there 
are tons of unpatched SBS boxes that are spam machines.

I know at least 886185 is on Windows update so count your blessings.
