Citrix released another 3 hotfixes, focussing on printing for MPS 3.0 and CPS 4.0.
First one is PSE400R01W2K028
This one is for MPS 3.0 and CPS 4.0 on Windows 2000 server.


This Hotfix addresses issues where certain applications do not apply print job settings properly. When printing from such applications, print jobs are automatically previewed on the client device. This fix detects such applications and suppresses the print preview unless the following registry key is set:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\Print
Name: DefaultPrgFlags
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 0x00008000



Second one is PSE400R01W2K042
Also for MPS 3.0 and CPS 4.0 on Windows 2000 server.

Apache Junction name change takes initiative - East Valley Tribune - MSNBC.com: "When Vinton Peck helped Apache Junction write its city codes 28 years ago, he didn't realize he was setting up a fight with an unlikely foe - himself. Peck, who now lives in Queen Valley, wants to change the name of Apache Junction to Superstition to reflect a tie between the growing city and the nearby chain of mountains for which it is best known."

News: Microsoft Engineer: 'PS3 ports will be difficult' - ComputerAndVideoGames.com: "Matt Lee, a developer at Microsoft's Game Technology Group, has again shared his knowledgeable insight - this time shifting his gaze towards the PS3 and saying that it will be 'difficult' to port games between the Xbox 360 and PS3.

In an interesting interview with website Ars Technica, Lee said that the asymmetric nature of Sony's Cell processor could cause trouble for Xbox 360 ports. 'I think porting from Xbox 360 to PS3 will be reasonably difficult,' he said, 'since the Xbox 360 has a lot more general purpose processing power that can be flexibly reallocated, and all of the Xbox 360 CPU cores have equal access to all memory. The asymmetric nature of the Cell could easily lead to situations where the game has too little of one type of processing power and too much of another.'"
