Uh, Just try to explain to joe public internet user why they must suddenly apply a patch to restore the functionality of their search button, which has - for no apparent reason - stopped working and started giving cryptic error messages. Can you say unnecessary techsupport headaches ? No, its a Microsoft error, they disabled a website (or it broke) which is needed for part of the Search functionality of their browser...expecting end users to fix it is a bit rich :) The kind of end user that is going to be able to fix the problem themselves is most likely smart enough to use better alternatives like google anyway :) Regards, Simon
