Re: Why would Microsoft be blocked?

Now that does not make any sense. What network admin, in
their right mind, would block Microsoft and keep computers
from receiving important updates.


Many corporate environments have a central server that downloads the MS
Updates and pushes them out to workstations.

If you're not a network admin, why do you need access to updates?
