I got this e-mail this morning -- you probably did as well

---------
It has come to our attention that some customers who have 
upgraded to our release of Mathematica 9 for Windows have 
encountered a serious issue with updating faulty fonts from a 
previous version of Mathematica, which can cause a system crash 
(blue screen).

The issue is rare and was not found during extensive internal and 
external prerelease testing. At this time, we advise against 
installing Mathematica 9 for Windows until we can provide you 
with an update that addresses this issue. This is anticipated to 
be available within a few days.

Macintosh and Linux versions are not affected, and systems that 
have not had previous versions of Mathematica installed are not 
affected.

If you have already installed Mathematica 9 for Windows and have 
not encountered this issue, there is nothing you need to do.

If you have installed Mathematica 9 for Windows and have 
encountered the issue, please contact Technical Support, who can 
help you address the issue. Alternatively, you can apply the 
simple, one-time, fix to the problem described here: 
http://support.wolfram.com/kb/11160

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Regards,


Arnoud Buzing
Director of Quality Assurance
