[gui-talk] Fwd: windows patch for xp and vista, for office 2010 and VS 2010

[Bud Schwab]

         Hi Guys,

I hope that update isn't too important as I get lost on the site 
trying to find and download the correct one.I'm not real sharp on 
these things and this site is so involved and inclusive that I get 
lost and don't know what to do. I'm running xp but it seems like 
there is more than one xp.  Anyway, things seem to be working ok so 
I'll just coast along for the time being.
Thanks.
