->wonder what the fix fixes.

Most likely v2.0 of their registration scheme which was cracked about 4
days ago.

I'm not defending Microsloth...but you can't fault them for having a fix
for software up before or as the CD goes gold and are shipped. Otherwise
you would have to slam SuSE because there have been updates in the 7.3
directory for a bit now. It's good to have fixes up so people can get
them right when they need them no matter what the fix is for.. We can't
bitch at them about their response times and then when they respond in a
timely manner..slam them for that as well. They are f**ked up in most
things as I see it, but not this one.
