<font size=2 face="sans-serif">As announced last week (</font><a href="http://bigmail.bigfix.com/pipermail/besadmin-announcements/2011-March/000960.html"><font size=2 color=blue face="sans-serif"><u>http://bigmail.bigfix.com/pipermail/besadmin-announcements/2011-March/000960.html</u></font></a><font size=2 face="sans-serif">),
IBM has updated all content in Updates for Windows Applications in order
to provide internationalization support for French, Italian, German, Spanish,
Chinese Simplified, and Japanese. This change will affect users of the
currently separate fixlets for applications in French. <b>These fixlets
will be disabled on Friday, April 29th, 2011 in favor of the more complete
international Fixlets</b>. The language-specific "Patches for Windows"
sites are not affected by this change.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">These new international Fixlets replace
the currently English only Updates for Windows Applications Fixlets. All
language support is consolidated into one Fixlet per product to increase
performance and usability. Because French updates were supported by separate
Fixlets in the past, there will be an overlap period for French users of
one month. French users will see both international versions and French
versions of relevant Fixlets in the console from <b>today, Tuesday March
29th, 2011</b> until the French Fixlets are retired on <b>Friday, April
29th, 2011</b>.</font>

Patching customers using French language Updates for Windows Applications
fixlets in baselines will need to recreate those baselines using the International
equivalents.</font><font size=3> <br>
