Of course, since we STILL have to handhold users into doing things, why not just download the patches to our own servers, and either make CDs as a courtesy to customers, or setup a quarantine network we shove them off to, which only has access to our local patch server? M$ still does have everything downloadable, for those of us who can figure out how to do it.
Its called Copyright law, but that's a layer 9 issue. What's the difference between downloading patches on demand through a squid cache, and keeping the file on your web server. Akamai really sucks for predicting where downloads will be sourced. On a more practical subject does anyone know of any useful cleaning tools for last months windows worms besides the "free" tools from the anti-virus vendors? Are there any freeware tools? Or any AV vendor willing to distribute their single fix tools through ISPs (with a link buy the full version)?
