Microsoft fixes delivery of IE patch

Microsoft on Wednesday fixed a glitch in delivery of a critical IE patch, which had prevented people from installing it from the company's Download Center Web site. The update addressed an error in a security bulletin released by Microsoft earlier this week as part of its monthly patch cycle.

Microsoft noted on its Download Center that "the initial packages were corrupt, causing some Systems Management Sever and Internet Explorer installation failures." Although people could not access the August patches from the Download Center, updates from Automatic Update, Windows Update, Microsoft Update and Windows Server Update Services were not affected.

what would SCO use???

i betcha SCO uses IE.

The truth is that SCO uses "insecure" and
"vulnerable" Linux more often than it uses its
own "SCO UNIX." See:

Even more telling is the fact that SCO's and Al
Gore's lawyers, Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP,
really put their trust in Windows Server

Your point is?

SCO Unix is used mainly in point of sale cash registers. It is not a type/brand of Unix normally used in Workstations or Client machines.
What this has to do with a repair to a Microsoft patching process or the fact that every store bought version of GNU/Linux or Windows requires anywhere from 300 to 600 Meg of downloaded critical updates is beyond me.
telling is the fact
