Panic? No, not really. But it took me *three hours* to download the 800Kb patch off their site. In typical stupid M$ manner, instead of making it a single download that can be installed multiple times, they included it in their moronic "web-update".

This means if you have three computers at home, you gotta download it three times and install on each. Multiply that by a few million users out there and it adds up...

Will the stupidity never cease?

Exactly.
