Remember the Vista update that broke itself?
There was an article on the news a few months ago that one of the windows Vista (and 7/xp iirc) updates broke and caused a lot of problems. Does
anyone know if it got fixed because I haven't installed any updates since about a month before it happened

it would be VERY silly of microsoft to still be giving out the dodgy update after all this time. i suspect it'll be fine now
that happened more than a few months ago now though didn't it? wasn't that like a year ago?

I'm about to put 64 bit windows 7 on my PC in the next hour.
If my last log in date stays at the 18th for the next couple of weeks you'll know why

That doesn't mean they wouldn't still do it. Sticking to a monthly patching schedule despite a very high profile vulnerability being
published and so far causing two governments to recommend you don't use their products is equally silly, and yet...

And now I'm back, but using an iMac (Which I never would have thought I would buy)
4 hours trying to get Windows 7 to even accept that it could install (only to find out you must install windows 7 on the boot drive which mean I had
to delete grub and my linux partition).
For some reason now I've been left with a 250gb partion that it won't format. Stupid flippin OS.
