kudos:10 | They were easy to install to, and now I'm fully up to date! I had to obtain them through a direct Microsoft.com automated e-mail reply though. |

Curious to know why hotfixes would show up here and not be available via windows update? That's the whole purpose of windows update...to present you with updates that apply to your system that you don't have installed.

'Hotfixes' usually are to correct specific issues that usually are not widespread and often haven't been fully tested which is why they aren't offered on the Microsoft Update site. Sometimes at a later date they are released, sometimes not. |
