Vista has a bug in which a dual-ported machine  can connect to a VPN server
but then doesn't route through the tunnel because the lower metric route is
via a disconnected interface.  See:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930163

The fix is not part of auto-update.  My thrid-hand understanding is that
Microsoft says only enterprises use VPN and enterprises should run WSUS and
therefore it doesn't need to be in auto-update.  We have WSUS but don't
point student machines at it (so when they leave the university they will
still get updates).

If anyone else agrees that this patch should go into auto-update, please
respond to me (NOT TO THE LIST!) and I will compile a list of enterprises
for our conversation with Microsoft.
