    # start snip

    - Microsoft ( ... ) continues to urge all customers to immediately install
    the MS4-011 update ( ...)

    - Customers who are still evaluating and testing MS04-011 should immediately
    implement the workaround steps detailed for the PCT/SSL vulnerability
    detailed in the MS04-011. In addition, Microsoft has published a knowledge
    base article KB187498 at
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;187498 which
    provides additional details on SSL and how to disable PCT without applying
    MS04-011.

    "Evaluating and testing" ?

    Is it so difficult for Microsoft to acknowledge that MS04-11 does cause some
    Windows 2003 and Win2K servers to become unstable, to the point that
    reinstalling Windows is sometimes necessary?

    Is there going to be an update to the patch?
