Microsoft offers fix for Outlook Web in Vista

Microsoft said Thursday that it has issued a patch that should allow Outlook Web Access to properly run in Windows Vista. As part of its overhaul of Internet Explorer, Microsoft had removed an editing control that was used by OWA, among other applications.

The patch has to be applied to the Exchange Server, not to the desktop, so individuals won't be able to solve the problem on their own. "If you run into this problem, we highly recommend that you contact your Exchange 2000/2003 administrator to make sure they have installed this update," Microsoft said.

I have come across this as a user and server administrator. Why should the server guy have to deal with a problem MS created for the user. My solution was simpler - no Vista on corporate computers.

That's right, why use iTunes when Apple can't get their software to work right? I boycott that as well.

The reason the control was removed from IE is because it was found to be a possible route to compromising security. -That's the clue you missed -

Patching Exchange Server means making a change to the software that would use that particular control to use some alternative method, it makes perfect sense since it was Exchange Server which used the control in the first place.
