I don't get the fanfare, the update hasn't changed since 2009, just the delivery mechanism, I admit I haven't looked at this in great detail but I read it as "the old update from 2009 is now available from MU" Even the press said in the trade rags that what it did was make it marginally easier for users to find. I expect any companies that were clearly concerned about it addressed it long ago. I would also still think l need to depend on the GPO to enforce the settings. Am I missing something?
