Topic: Technology 11:22 pm EDT, May 28, 2003

] Microsoft pulled a security improvement for its Windows
] XP operating system after it apparently crippled many of
] the Internet connections of the roughly 600,000 users who
] installed it. According to this Associated Press report,
] the patch ('recommended' update 818043) was posted on the
] Windows-Update service last Friday, but didn't quite get
] along with Symantec products. The patch was intended to
] modify the way IPSec encryption was utilized by machines
] behind firewalls, as well as to improve the support of
] virtual private network VPN clients behind network
] address translation (NAT) hardware.

So what else is new?
