Microsoft Releases Replacement Patch With Two Known Bugs

snydeq writes Microsoft has re-released its botched MS14-045/KB 2982791 'Blue Screen 0x50' patch, only to introduce more problems, InfoWorld's Woody Leonhard reports. "Even by Microsoft standards, this month's botched Black Tuesday Windows 7/8/8.1 MS14-045 patch hit a new low. The original patch (KB 2982791) is now officially 'expired' and a completely different patch (KB 2993651) offered in its stead; there are barely documented revelations of new problems with old patches; patches that have disappeared; a 'strong' recommendation to manually uninstall a patch that went out via Automatic Update for several days; and an infuriating official explanation that raises serious doubts about Microsoft's ability to support Windows 9's expected rapid update pace."

    Well if you read it in a post on Slashdot it must be true! No shills ever post here and try to spread misinformation about Linux! Well, er, I mean, you're the only one.

    If you could read you would realize he said misinformation, not pro-linux.

    Fair enough, then I remove the first sentence of my comment. But I still believe that the word "shill" is thrown around a bit too much here.
