Windows Update Fiasco Question?

[Zepper]

Hey Fellow ATers,

I just went to the Windwoes Update site to try to update my Win 2k. I had been hearing about the mess caused by the April 11th patches, so I checked the date on the files they were offering me. Both of the updates for IE still had the April 11 date on them. Should I go ahead and update or wait a while longer?

You can get v2 of the formerly-balky MS06-015 patch directly from yonder if you want.

I had a client whose XP laptop was messed up by the MS06-015 patch, in combination with an old version of HP's "Share-to-Web" utility (which actually is the culprit).

I ran Microsoft Update against the PC yesterday (April 27), and it automatically picked up the new version of the MS06-015 patch, and all is well with his PC now.
