Note 9:  Remember Update Rollups are not cumulative, so later updates do not necessarily have fixes from previous updates.  My peer Steve Mathias wrote a nice blog post here:

Note 10:  Most of these are not a part of the Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2 update rollups.  My peer Chad Schultz has a nice list here of the rollup updates:
