Hotfixes are "generally provided by Microsoft Customer Service & Support," a Microsoft Update Catalog FAQ clarified. IT pros can find some hotfixes there, too, but not all of them. In particular, it has "important, recommended, and optional updates." The Microsoft Update Catalog is where Microsoft houses software updates, drivers and some hotfixes needed for Windows environments. The site improvement finally addresses a sore point among IT pros, who have long grumbled about the strange IE requirement. They described success with those browsers, per list-serve discussions.

It's now possible to use the Microsoft Edge browser at the site, as well as other browsers, he noted. However, that dependency is now gone, according to an announcement by Michael Niehaus, director of product marketing at Microsoft.

Microsoft today announced that the Microsoft Update Catalog can now be accessed by other browsers besides Internet Explorer.
