It's been about 5 years since I've had the last patch related problem -- not to say I haven't seen other people with them, but they haven't been widespread enough for me to be impacted. I had one in 2006 or 2007 which was XML related and impacted BES.
Oh, and I had a machine with a Vista SP1 issue. Maybe 2, but again not widespread. * * *ASB* *http://XeeMe.com/AndrewBaker* *Harnessing the Advantages of Technology for the SMB market… * On Wed, Jan 11, 2012 at 9:28 PM, Steven Peck <sep...@gmail.com> wrote: > Well, I am curious.
