Re: Personal Oracle Patch for XP

Hello que90nek,

  Can not agree with you more. Patch download is available only to support-paying customers from metalink.

  Even if you purchase one of the developer tracks it would not include metalink access.

  Your best bet to get one of your metalink-accessing friends to download it for you.
