    Hey, maybe there's still someone working in Microsoft who understands serving customers.

    Because using it I only get page with someone of these:
    Searching for newer version of Windows update software. (without nothing happening)
    HTTP 500 Internal Servererror

    EDIT: And I've tried turning firewall of, so at least it can't be because of that.

    That's never happened to me before; I've always found the WU server to be extremely reliable, not to mention fast.

    Because not everyone wants to sit there for hours on end downloading over 60MB worth of updates because Microsoft is too damn lazy to get off their asses and get SP2 out the damn door. :rolleyes: Not everyone is blessed with broadband ya know. Furthermore, this CD has the RPC glitch fix, which is a VERY good thing to have installed prior to going online simply because most people wouldn't know how to properly configure a firewall to save their lives.

    No no, order it and make Microsoft pay the shipping. Much more expensive than the bandwidth :D

    Mail it to your neighbours and steal it out of their mailbox :D

    They'll have it anyways if you actually registered your copy of Windows. ;) Hell, being on MS's mailing list isn't a bad thing. They send you beta software every now and then. Hell, I got to beta test Allegiance. :)

    Hmm, nothing about Finland.

    Vert:
    With Microsoft we all are beta testers.
    (or basing on amount of holes alpha testers)
