Getting the word out

Questions/Roundtable

• Found a bug last week related to Windows System Restore causing updates not to be found -- Rob is working on it -- should we be testing around this more closely? (bug 730285)
  • No. There is a longer term plan to create restore points. Nothing to do in the short term.
