Microsoft Forces Shutdown of Autopatcher

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the hooray-for-lawyers dept.

kaufmanmoore writes "Posts on Neowin and Autopatcher's site announce Microsoft has forced the closure of the Autopatcher download section. Details are scarce as to the exact reason for the take down after over 4 years of availability, but an official from Microsoft legal says that it has nothing to do with Windows Genuine Advantage. Goodbye to another useful tool that helped sysadmins apply Microsoft's numerous patches."

    Is there a particular reason why you started posting to this article as twitter and then switched to another sockpuppet account?

    Why do you feel it's necessary to use more than one account to post to Slashdot?
