Easier way to get certain Windows hot fixes

Not all Windows hot fixes are part of the monthly update. Some are deemed by Microsoft to apply to a limited group of users and are available only by request. Until recently, that meant a phone call to Microsoft and time spent explaining why you wanted the hot fix. The company has now instituted an email mechanism for obtaining a link for the hot fix. PC World has the details. The request form is at this Microsoft site.
