Windows 7: Need real-world translation for every day user

The recent certificate problem which it turns out also affected microsoft and windows update has been addressed by Microsoft.

My question, after reading following, do we need to be concerned that maybe some update problems we see are related to this problem?

It is definitely complicated but I would not expect to see update problems. Rather, Windows XP users of IE could be susceptible to "man-in-the-middle" attacks until the Microsoft update is issued or they manually remove the DigiNotar certificate. However, don't forget that the SRD blog posts states that a man-in-the-middle attack can only occur if one of the following also occurs:
It cannot be stated that all Windows Vista and above systems were completely safe and not at risk after the issuance of Security Advisory 2607712 because they could have had a cached DigiNotar as a trusted root CA. Fortunately, the cached list is updated client-side every seven days. That makes the last date an attack targeting Internet Explorer users on Windows Vista and later platforms might possibly be successful is today, September 5.

As explained by Greg Keizer, Microsoft: Stolen SSL certs can't be used to install malware via Windows Update:

Copied from my blog:

Microsoft Security Advisory 2607712 has been updated to revoke the trust of the DigiNotar root certificates by placing them into the Microsoft Untrusted Certificate Store.

The update is available via Automatic Update and applies to all supported releases of Microsoft Windows, including Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2.

Copied below are the known issues from Microsoft KB Article 2607712, Microsoft Security Advisory: Fraudulent digital certificates could allow spoofing for this update.

Known issues

• A restart is required for all editions of Windows XP and of Windows Server 2003.
• A restart is not required for all editions of Windows Vista, of Windows 7, of Windows Server 2008, and of Windows Server 2008 R2. The installer stops the required services, applies the update, and then restarts the services. However, if the required services cannot be stopped for any reason, or if required files are being used, this update will require a restart. If this behavior occurs, you receive a message that advises you to restart.
• At the explicit request of the Dutch government, the release of this update on Windows Update will be delayed for the Netherlands.
  
  This update will become available to the Netherlands on Windows Update and on all Automatic Update channels at a later date.
