Windows Update, the ONLY source for security updates, fixes and other
important files is AGAIN available only for Internet Explorer users -
netscape, opera and any others are locked out and urged to either
upgrade to Internet Explorer or use Microsoft download.
Microsoft Download is unfortunately useless, some six month ago flow of
security updates, fixes and other important files to Microsoft Download
stopped.
This is hard to believe policy made by Microsoft management - why should
someone be forced to use Internet Explorer when in need of, let say,
operating system security update?
This is even bigger faux pas than recent media buzz about Opera being
serverd with invalid style sheet.
Cheers
Daniel
