2. The description in the following Fixlet messages has been modified to
take advantage of new features in BES 6.0.

ID: 177	Restart Needed
ID: 390	Restart Needed - Triggered by a BES Action
ID: 391	Restart Needed - Not Triggered by a BES Action	
ID: 28501	OFFICE: Office 2000 Deployment Control -- Initial
Assignment
ID: 29501	OFFICE: Office XP Deployment Control -- Initial
Assignment
ID: 30501	OFFICE: Office 2003 Deployment Control -- Initial
Assignment


3. The behavior of the following Fixlet message has been modified. For
non-Windows clients, the Fixlet message will only become relevant if the
BES Server and the installed client differ by a minor version number.
This change was made to prevent non-Windows clients from incorrectly
reporting this warning Fixlet message since, by design, their versions
are higher than the last released BES Server version. Windows clients
will behave as before.

ID: 316	WARNING: BES Client is Newer Than Its Registration Server
