So, if a HIPAA site uses Windows and accepts the SP3 EULA, they're screwed. If a HIPAA site uses Windows and does not accept the SP3 EULA, they're screwed. Logical conclusion, if a HIPAA site uses Windows, they're screwed. Thus they should use a different OS? -- David Hayes Network Security Operations Center MCI Network Svcs email: david.hayes () MCI com vnet: 777-7236 voice: 972-729-7236 On Mon, Sep 08, 2003 at 01:13:21PM -0400, Valdis.Kletnieks () vt edu wrote:

Of course, if you fail to agree to the EULA and you're a HIPPA site, you're still screwed because then you can't install post-SP3 patches.
