Summary: [UPDATE] Windows XP and Office 2003's final Patch Tuesday will have only four updates total and only one critical each for Office and XP. The number of vulnerabilities is still undisclosed.

Microsoft has released the Advance Notification for next week's Patch Tuesday for April 2014, the final one for Windows XP and Office 2003. After next Tuesday, neither product will receive updates of any kind, including security updates, for general release.

There will be a total of four updates released for all products, two for Windows and two for Office. Only one of the updates for each product is rated critical, although we don't yet know the number of vulnerabilities addressed for any of the products or their exact nature. All four updates are for remote code execution vulnerabilities.
