Is this a problem if my PC is not a server? I've only got the one computer, and don't even have a home network. The fix seems to be for network servers, and I'm not sure if I should download it. Which is better - (a) Better safe than sorry, or (b) Don't install something I don't need?

Just another reminder that it's not conservative or pro-business to get us duped into subjection to monopolies.

Microsoft has posted detailed security bulletins and patches for the Windows security flaw, as well as the Outlook and Content Management holes.

As well as notified me that these fixes were available... and I promptly fixed it.... Thanks!
