Microsoft has made available many of the most frequently asked for Hotfixes. Now we can, finally, get them without having to go through a 30 minute minimum process of contacting Microsoft Product Support Services.

The site containing the released hotfixes is here its part of the Connect program at MS, and is called DevDiv Hotfix Public Availability Pilot Program.

Now, the majority of the words in the title of that bugger indicate that this is a perishable resource likely to go away at any time, so browse over there and download these bad boys before they go poof, even if you don’t install them. I suggest you also read the KB articles associated with each and store the contents with the downloaded files.

They have posted the standard “Own Risk” warning on the site, most if not all of these fixes have not been through their own internal testing. So do use with discretion!

Cheers,
