Windows Desktop Search 3 and Enterprise Search

Microsoft's Enterprise Search handled searching across network drives well. However when I upgraded to Office 2007, I was prompted to install WDS 3. Believing this to be an upgrade I did and was dismayed to discover no support for network drive support. Seeing as 90% of our data is contained on network drives this was a severe blow.

Fortunately Micosoft has now release an update to WDS 3 that brings this capability back.
Note: this install will require a PC restart and a Genuine Advantage check.
