Hehehe. Microsoft slips in 6 more fixes into this hotfix, and then it starts to break apps.

#1. "slips in" 6 more fixes?
Let's see, prior to yesterday's release, Microsoft said that the fix was already on the schedule for the 4/10 patch day. Which means it was already in the final stages of testing. Apparantely, that fix included 6 other issues as well. So, if you were Microsoft on 3/30 (or whenever the cursor flaw was made public) would you rather: 1. Speed up the currently-in-progress testing for the fix that is for 7 total issues, and release it early, OR 2. Start over, creating a fresh fix that contains *only* the cursor fix, and start testing from scratch on it, and try to be ready to release in 5 days (3/30-4/4). And at the same time, create a fresh fix for the 6 remaining bugs, start testing from scratch, and have it ready by 4/10. Option 1 is the best route, and no wonder they chose it. Regarding breaking apps.... the "apps" in question are all from a single vendor, RealTek. On 3/30, RealTek released a new version of their drivers, which lo and behold, if you install them before installing the Microsoft security fix -- you have no problems whatsoever! The problem was RealTek's, and they fixed it; unfortunately they don't have a distribution mechanism to get their drivers out to their customers. |
