    The fix will be available via Windows Update or straight-forward download
    once the standard regression testing procedures have been completed. In the
    meantime, anyone can get the hotfix emailed to them FOC by contacting MS
    support. Nothing is required save for a telephone to make the request and
    an email address to which the file will be sent. Mr Random is entitled to
    log two incidents every six months before getting into paid-for support.
