All Things Microsoft > Microsoft as a Company

Can these idiots at M$ do ANYTHING right ? I doubt it.

Excerpt from MSNBC (oh the irony) tech news.


WASHINGTON, May 27 ? Microsoft Corp. withdrew a security improvement for its flagship Windows XP software after it crippled Internet connections for some of the 600,000 users who installed it. Microsoft officials said Tuesday the update ? which had been available as an option since Friday on its ?Windows Update? Web site ? apparently was incompatible with popular security software from other companies, such as Symantec Corp.MSNBC M$ bolloxed up again.

Save this article quick on your hard-disk. The mother-company of MSNBC maybe will pull this off MSNBC...

You're really fucked when you had "Automatic updates" on. It downloads a patch so that you can't go on the internet, and then you can't fetch a patch that fixes that problem because... well... your internet connection is blocked. I wonder how many websites are offline by this.

You could likely just uninstall the patch from  "Add/Remove Programs".

M$ are turning into a farce. I really find it hard to express my disdain for M$ without the use of foul language. To communicate this type of balls up to high level managers is extremely difficult when you can't swear ! M$ really have lost the plot with XP, it's a f*****g liability.
