Office 2003 Beta 2 patch for MSO.dll

Thanks to Germano for the heads up on this

It appears Microsoft have released a small patch for Office 2003 Beta 2 for "Internal Microsoft users only". The patch found on Office Beta Update only updates MSO.dll. This dll was used by "crackers" to sucessfully by-pass product activation in Beta 1. Maybe Microsoft are making sure they are ready for any kind of "cracks" that might appear after Office 2003 goes final.

#4 Posted by Darkness2k on 07 Apr 2003 - 15:28: Hmm.. if its intended for internal Microsoft users only, why would they release it on a site that any legitimate Office 2003 beta tester can access?
