RE: Win95 SLIP support/DUScripting

["Walden Leverich" <walden@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd be careful about this site. While I'm sure B. Warden may do a great job
monitoring the MS site for updates, I would guess that s/he is a college
student with time to kill. Come a tough semester, or graduation, I doubt
s/he would have the time or desire to update the site.

Jeffery does make a valid point. IBM enables me to order one PTF and get a
list of ALL (ok almost all) fixes to the IBM software on my machine. Heck,
they will even fax me proactively if they really screwed something up
(HIPER). With MS pushing NT as enterprise ready and the ZAW (Zero
Administration Windows) initiative MS really needs to work on their fix
support. "You've got a browser, we've got a site, go look" is NOT an
acceptable method of fix distribution for an enterprise.

JMHO,

-Walden
