Microsoft patches can lick me where I pee.

Downloaded the latest set of critical updates from Microsoft. Installed. Result: My Intel machine no longer boots. AGAIN.

The last set of Critical Updates did this too. That time I knew specifically that it was the DirectX update. and could boot to safe mode and even have network connectivity. This time, I can't boot it in safe mode at all. It resets the machine all the way back to post at the end of the progress bar on the graphic Windows logo screen, shortly before it should bring up the login screen.

god. WHO THE FUCK IS TESTING THESE THINGS NOW?!

They had to pull the DirectX update and reissue it, because my experience was, apparently, not unique. I don't know about this set yet.

so. annoying.

Here, have a quiz, too. )

Microsoft, again.

Microsoft doesn't want to let third-party clients talk to MSN's IM anymore. Lame.
