June 27, 200224 yr Automatic Updates on Win2k notified me of this update before the security email went into my inbox! Looks as if Microsoft are now putting in the effort of keeping their Windows Update site with the latest patches as they come out, which they were slow to do in the past. Good thing!
July 3, 200224 yr Just wondering, with auto updates turned on, with winxp, does that get fixed? Cause I don't wanna download the fix, I'm lazy.
