Strange, members of the American forum that I belong to have theirs and there's a lot of downloads (11 for XP and 9 for Vista).

Very odd. Perhaps MS are hitting back at the EU. ;)

It makes you wonder why they did the out of schedule patch, doesn't it.

I was wondering why they were out on a Wednesday and not a Tuesday. Mine were ready to download yesterday morning.

It's because the Tuesday timing is for America, so it's quite late here.

6PM is when they are released UK time on Tuesday evening Rik, if you do a manual update just after say 6:10PM you will get them all

Yup, 1pm EST/EDT.

MS said that Vista would never need to be updated, I think all the service packs and patches now take twice the space of the original install

MS say a lot of things, most of them aren't true. ;)
