  1. Re: Well is this fast enough for you? on Major Security Flaw in IIS4.0 · · Score: 1

    I meant first saying there's a patch then saying there isn't. The date is just for a nice little chuckle.

    *June 15, 1999: Bulletin Created

    Hold on, first there's a patch available then there isn't. Then, it was first POSTED May 27, about 3 weeks before it was CREATED.

    This sounds like typical MS double talk. I'm really not at all surprised by the inconsitency. I also like the way the page links to itself in More Information. :>

    Yeah, they've got a lot of brain cells over there. 1 per MS employee adds up to quite a few.
