Slight corrections...
"MS09-006: (CRITICAL) Provides cover for three newly discovered and privately reported vulnerabilities in Windows, which could allow remote code execution if a user viewed a specially crafted EMF or WMF image file from an affected system."

Actually, only one of the three vulnerabilities allows remote code execution. Your statement implies that all three allow it.

"These vulnerabilities affect all versions of Windows, including Vista and Windows Server 2008."

Only two affect Vista and Server 2008. The third one doesn't affect Vista, Server 2008, nor Server 2003 SP2.
