What I don't get is, if a patch is fit to be used by U.S government, why wouldn't it be for all other Microsoft users ? Is Microsoft using the U.S. government as test bunnies for their patches ? If that's not the case, then why wait up to a month to supply them to the general public ? Niek -- _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
