Spot on. Shame on Microsoft for releasing patches and not forcing the installation versus letting security managers open up ISC^, and other nonsensical frameworks to do things like "change/patch management" tasks. I mean, who cares if one little patch knocks a business out of existence. I do believe Microsoft is directly responsible for making people such daft "To patch or not to patch" admins. Force feed patches on everyone! Then your next message will be: "I believe Microsoft is responsible for trillions of dollars by pushing out patches forcefully and negatively impacting businesses worldwide." Pain and anguish? I'm smiling and drinking coffee. I adore when security shenanigas occur. That is the sound of a cash register to me. -- =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ J.
