IE 8 Missing from WSUS?

Hello,

We are ready to deploy IE8 and I just searched in my WSUS console... All I
can find is "Cumulative Updates for..." but not the actual install for IE8.
Any ideas??

This has been blogged about several times on the IE8 blogs over the past few
months.

Here's the primary post from April, 2009:

I've read all that stuff... and my WSUS server is already downloading all of
the Rollup Updates. But IE 8 is not there when i search within the catalog.
What am I missing?

<sigh>..... you've read it?

You've expressly read the part of the July, 2009, post that says WSUS will
be available on August, 25th?

> What am I missing?

It's not yet August 25th. :-)

<sigh>... this is the same information contained in the article I cited in
the previous message that you insisted you had already read.
