06-015 (Q908531) still not up on WU, but...

Minor good news consequence:

At least we won't have to deal with all of the logistics regarding the replacement of shell32.dll, stemming from 313929 and all of that patching for themes/icons, transparent icons, etc.

A dumb question:

The official shell32.dll is distributed in Q313829, and is indicated as an NT4.0 file. Perchance, was/is there a newer version within the NT 4.0 world? Would any such thing work? Any reason not to search for one?

cjl

ps: M$'s noise about reengineering excuses: What, if anything was broken when 313829 replaced the original pre-313829? [From MS's vantage point, so disregard the transparency icon stuff]. If they did it correctly, wouldn't it just break stuff depending on the net port specfically? [and that's the point, isn't it?]

Uh the latest shell32.dll patch for WinNT4 SP6a is KB841356 [MS04-037], not Q313829. See security bulletin MS04-037-

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/MS04-037.mspx

and MS didnt make KB841356 shell32.dll fixes for Win98/ME. PATHETIC!

F***ing shame MS.

MOOOOOUUUUU-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Why am I NOT surprised by MS to not offer KB908531 patches for Win98 & ME. Oh well, that's one less patch Win9xME users they dont need to worry about since they'll not make one.
