Scott,
Although I understand where you are coming from, it is not reasonable for an
objective observer NOT to agree that this current situation is not normal.
Granted, the windows update KB835732 does not cause problems with all
computers - but it is clearly causing problems with ENOUGH computers that
both Microsoft and the appropriate MVPs should be able to agree - that
something is wrong here.

So far, the responses I have seen from the MVPs in response to this
"KB835732" issue - have generally been the type of advice that is given to
non-techies - which in this case is far from helpful and is probably what is
causing Agent_C (and quite a few other posters) to be blowing off a bit of
steam. Perhaps it would be possible to make the leap of faith that ALL of
the problems being reported in regard to KB835732 - are in fact NOT ALL
caused by user error.

Just a thought.

Tim.
