Windows Security Update ISO Beta 4a

[BetaDroid™]

Dear Beta Tester:

Thank You to every one of you, for the great job you have done for this ISO beta project!

We have just completed beta project for beta testing this ISO image file for Windows XP and Windows 2000. Now we have a new version of CD ISO image which is for used on all Windows platforms - Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows ME, and Windows 98.

You have continue to find many valid bugs. This has provoked many good comments from the Windows Update team concerning our beta users' testing ability and productivity. The majority of the bug reports are well thought out and detailed. That really helps us to speed up the bug triages and fixes.

Microsoft is very fortunate to have you as our beta testers! We are very proud of this beta team.

This new CD ISO image file, the latest version (#4a), has been released, including fixes for some of the bugs that you have reported for Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows 9x versions. It is now available for download from <http://www.beta.microsoft.com> under Downloads page and on <http://content.test.windowsupdate.com> site, under Tools page.

Please have a look at it, especially if you reported bugs against the previous version - if you see a regression or experience a new issue, please report it - screen shot, log files, and detail information. Bear in mind, not all bugs have and/or will be fixed.

The project will run from December 19, 2003 through December 31, 2003. We need to gather the majority of the data within the next few days, please help us by initiating beta testing as soon as you can. Our goal is to resolve any issues before this package is released to public.

- For all ICF related issues - Please read this KB from <http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=b3d01193-ad93-492f-b74b-97c2fc44e08b&displaylang=en>.

- DirectX folder name bug has been fixed.

- Windows 2000 SP4 - CD does not detect it - this bug is not going to be fixed this version; but we will fix this in our next CD release.

Thank you for all your hard work!
