I noticed that Windows Update works via Firefox now.  Snazzy.

[Miasma]

Still refuses to work in my firefox.

It does install some ActiveX, so maybe you are being too tight on security.

WGA sucks balls. Now I can't download things on my mac and throw them on my USB drive. Bastards.

The PC is a console now.  Didn't you get the memo?

Firefox does not come with ActiveX support by default.

I admit that I cannot remember what exactly it did since I was installing/updating VS C# Express and my mind was elsewhere, I just know it worked after a download of something or other.

God dammit.  I happen to have a weird problem with GalCiv II after a reboot.  Now I'm thinking it might be .NET, dammit.

I was just in Scottsdale earlier today.
