Re: WLMd Deployment Plans?

Joel,
It's important to note those Live Applications were not pushed, those were updates available via Microsoft Update(an option in
Windows Update) and only to an existing **user installed** Live Application.
- I.e. the updates are only available if one downloaded and installed the original application.
