31183 2002-01-14 11:01:00 I can't think of anything more frustrating than a weekend of being unable to update a clean install of Windows via the Windows Update.

In the end I managed to download the patches manually.

It highlights two points for me:
1. It is damn annoying that there is no email address to flame Microsoft,
2. I'd hate to have the same thing happen on a m$ product that required Product Activation after its 50 uses only to find it not working.

Better get in while it works if you haven't!

31185 2002-01-14 13:05:00 yep, I've been waiting since friday to patch my clean install of 98se.

I would hate to see the mess IE would have been in if I had actually used it while it was unpatched.

So spoke Microsoft so it MUST be true ;-)
