MS must have taken a long holiday. Just 1 for Windows 7, 1 for XP, 1 for Office and NONE for Windows 8.

The article has 47 (or so) links to follow and I got lost in the confusion. Why don't they just say, as example, "KB 12345678 will make the red light go off" and be simple?

This is why.

This advance notification provides a number as the bulletin identifier, because the official Microsoft Security Bulletin numbers are not issued until release. The bulletin summary that replaces this advance notification will have the proper Microsoft Security Bulletin numbers (in the MSyy-xxx format) as the bulletin identifier.

After they are released you can then check the KB number to get all the information, although sometimes it takes a day or two to release that information.

UPDATE:

Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary for January 2014

 

[ThrashZone]

It took some time for the Important updates to load this afternoon,
I believe office 2007 word had the largest update/ outlook was second all the other two or three were fairly minor in size,
After reboot it took between 5 and 10 minutes to finally complete/ stuck at 32 % the entire time,
Very weird but did complete
Cheers.

Mine went well on 3 machines too. They all hung at 32% then Windows started.

Must be, I had 4 for 7 and 16 for XP, but I missed last months . I don't use Office.

MS must of had the interns working, first time I've ever seen a typo on a KB page.
