hi all. lost this thread in the shuffle. thanks for the replies and links. keep 'em coming if you hear anything more.
i like to wait before installing too but haven't heard much. i'm sure i have every update, patch, etc. up until these. think i'll continue to wait. (still using ie6 too!) does anyone else find it a bit disturbing to see that yellow shield day-in day-out?
that reminds me...another update i find disturbing that i haven't installed: for Outlook:
This update (KB953432) resolves an issue where Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 behaves unexpectedly in some circumstances.
what is that? is this one OK? i'll check the links above for info too. tnx.
edit: the outlook update is "related to how messages and attachments are rendered." requires Office 2003 SP2 and SP3.
