OP
I got my notification from "Mark Minasi's Windows Networking Tech Page
Issue #35 July 2003" received yesterday.
 
He seems fairly excited about it so I thought I'd tone it down a little and pass it on. His "Mastering Windows ........." series of books are very thorough so I figure if he's getting excited it's for a good reason.
 
Anyway, it's a 1mb patch from MS, so what harm can it do to install it?
