| 341957 | 2005-04-05 21:51:00 | I see that a new Windows Update today, tinyurl.com says that it "Updates Windows with necessary runtime components for running smart applicaitons. The applicaiton will connect to Microsoft.com and get the latest .NET Framework 1.1 bits as well as DirectX 9.0c bits along with the needed prerequisites." What is a "smart applicaiton"? I've never had or needed any applicaitons on my computers, as far as I am aware. Can someone explain what they are? |

| 341959 | 2005-04-06 03:33:00 | Microsofts spelling error? The mean "applications", and finally get it right at the end of the paragraph. An "application" is a program. No idea what an "applicaiton" is from Microsoft apart from a typo.... |
