A month late for me. Thanks M$, I only lost a couple hours to this.

How come M$ can never issue a Bulletin that is written in plain english that anyone can understand? Example: | This advance notification provides the software subject as the bulletin identifier, because the official Microsoft Security Bulletin numbers are not issued until release. The bulletin summary that replaces this advance notification will have the proper Microsoft Security Bulletin numbers (in the MSyy-#*$! format) as the bulletin identifier. |

No idea why I need to know this, no idea what they are trying to tell me, no idea if I should even care. Obviously written by a committee of lawyers. [edited by: Rugles at 4:22 pm (utc) on Dec. 17, 2008]

I think it's because that is a TechNet link which is geared towards developers and partners.

FYI The update went smoothly, and it did require a reboot.

Funny thing just happened.
Firefox just updated itself to version 3.0.5
From the security descriptions it sounds very similar to IE. Would be a good time to see if you have the latest version.

Opera just updated to 9.63 [webmasterworld.com]
I'm not sure about Chrome... None of my server installations required a reboot, but all XP and Vista machines have.
