I installed it also after making a restore point for good measure.
It is MS or it wouldn't be there.
I always check them before installing.
Seemed legit to me.

[what]Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB976902)

I like to see/read the documentation. The fact that there was none raised some flags. I Googled this and found some speculation on what it was, but so far, no facts. Apparently it's raised a lot of questions since it's risen to #73 on items researched on Google in the past hour.
My general practice is to wait a couple days before I install any update to see if it causes any widespread problems. I am choosing not to install this patch until MS verifies it in some way.
I've found some articles today concerning this update. But nothing concrete.
Cubic: KB976902 - "Black Hole" update
Windows 7 Update to enable future updates.
Most of the people on the Microsoft Social forum are choosing not to install it until they too, can find some documentation.

I phoned my boy to warn about possible consequences installing this but he had already installed it nothing went wrong but he hasn't restarted his PC yet.
Personally I am going to pass on this for a couple of weeks before installing.

Tech Arp seems OK it's all speculation for now but i was thinking the same thing as soon as i saw the update.
When Microsoft had the WAT update earlier in the year it was easy to remove it by googling for info.

Relax, it's the servicing stack update. We've seen it all before in Vista.
That said, I don't think it was supposed to be released today. Looked around Microsoft Download Center, it's nowhere to be seen. Perhaps someone clicked the wrong button?
There are some new, official!, federated search connectors though, right fom the cow's udder.
