Updated! Hmm.. after waiting all this week for a re-release of Powertoys for XP seems like Microsoft decided to move the date forward (or attempts) to Jan 31st. Thanks to primortal who brought this to our attention from the forums. That same forum thread reminded us that Microsoft is still confused about which year we are currently in.. they posted the following (updated) message below on the Powertoys for XP website.
(January 18, 2001 update) The PowerToys download is currently unavailable. Please check back on January 31, 2001 for the updated version of this download. View that here
We think they mean 2002 if the Powertoys will actually be available on the 31st is anybodys guess. We are not sure why they keep being pushed back and made unavailable but me101 found the updated Powertoys on Microsoft Indonesia.
These are identical to the Oct 25th release this one is under 1mb @ 939kb, while the newer version is just over 1mb. The site also displays that it was modified today (18 Jan 2002) (ie: a repost of the original set)
Sorry for the mis-understanding, it appears these are the older set replaced over the later release that included Audio Shell Player and ISO Burner.

"The federal administration expects that the interoperability standard ISIS-MTT will quickly establish itself on the market, and that appropriate products for each application, based on ISIS-MTT, will be available," the Cabinet decision said.
Some IT professionals were critical of the government for not being more specific about which technology it intends to use.
The industry association Bitkom (Bundesverband Informationswirtschaft, Telekommunikation und neue Medien e.V.), while welcoming the decision, complained that it makes only suggestions and no concrete directions for implementation.
"After the many rounds of voting not much more remained than a description of the status quo," the group said in a statement. "The government thus unfortunately waters down its clear and praiseworthy aim of quickly and comprehensively outfitting the administration with security technology."
Bitkom called instead for a "citizens' card," with chip and electronic signature, for all Germans.
