Microsoft Security Bulletin - MS03-013

[Ovid Bailey]

Brian,

This info is not helpful. As noted in my post below
earlier today, running this hotfix on my XP machine
completely shut down networking. Considering that I have
lots of WAN clients that I had to quickly disable auto
updates before they downloaded this at 6pm tonight, this
could have caused me major grief.

Based on other posts with similar symptoms, is this ready
for prime time?

Thanks,

Ovid Bailey
