    Thanks for the info and the link. Perhaps someone from Microsoft could
    comment on why, if MS04-024 *is* superseded by MS04-037 for Windows 2000, the
    security bulletin for MS04-037 doesn't mention MS04-024 at all in the FAQ
    "What updates does this release replace?" section?

    PS. HFNetChk and HFNetChkPro both flag MS04-024 as missing on W2K, but this
    could be a mistake in the XML file.
