KB 2670838 - The EVIL UPDATE

This Windows 7 update wasted a lot of my time today.

I could not find my own postings in the past... maybe I was unsure in the
past... I am still unsure today.. but much more sure than previously.

When installing IE11 I suspect this patch also gets installed.

This patch will cause:

1. Windows Live Mail fail to crash, making mail inaccessible.
2. Company of Heroes, Tales of Valor to crash.
3. Call of Duty 5 World at War to stop loading.
4. Possibly even IE9 to keep crashing...
5. And perhaps other misschief.

This patch is the worst patch I have ever seen... I am not 100% sure but
it's a very good guess.

Therefore it's time for me to spam this message all across usenet... so that
I will always find it in google hopefully, next time it pops it's ugly
head...

Hopefully it will save my lost of time in the future.

Also bare in mind:

IE9 crashes
IE10,IE11 is junk, it's slow... it's laggy and it's not worth this patch
trouble.

My advice is stick with Firefox and other browsers... always make sure to
have multiple browsers installed otherwise you might be stranded...

Also if you ever have a crashing internet explorer and you really can't
recover... remember that you can de-install it... this will revert it back
to IE8... at least that should give you a chance to become "unstranded" and
access the web again for help.

I was hoping Microsoft fixed this patch by now... unfortunately they did
not... and are probably too busy messing around with windows 8.1/windows 10
etc.

Shame on them cause this is ONE BITCH OF A PATCH !!!

Also FUCK Microsoft for intentionally DAMAGING computer software !

My trust in Microsoft is disappearing.

Their behaviour is always the same basically:

"Damage old software to try and get people to buy new systems/upgrade".

This patch makes me sick to my stomach... mostly because it endangers my
data !

If Microsoft causes my DATA to be lost or inaccessable their software will
be TERMINATED by me and I will switch to something else.

Even if it's just a stupid little patch like this... this kind of thing....
making my mail archieve inaccessible is unacceptable behaviour.

I will keep a close eye on this patch to see if it ever gets fixed.

If now I may get so sick to my stumach that I might just skip Windows 10 and
go to Linux route...

For now at least it can be deinstalled... but it comes at a great risk: no
more internet explorer, no more internet explorer updates...

Now I have to trust Mozilla and Open Source developers ?!

What's the world coming too ?! ;) ;) ;)

If Microsoft keeps this up they will drive everybody to open source... is
that what you want Microsoft ?

You guys are doing really bad right now... one little patch and you can't
fix it ???? REally ???

I will examine your details about this patch... I probably did it n the past
already...

You know what I will do it right now... just to see if I can add some info
to this posting.

Basically this is some kind of graphics patch update for hybrid graphics
cards... fuck that... please shove this up your ass.

Integrated graphics probably....

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

WHERE HAVE I HEAR THAT BEFORE ????????????????

DOES INTEL WRING A BELLLL ?????????????????

INTEGRATED ELECTRONICS = INTEL.

This patch is apperently CODE-AUTHORED BY INTEL.

INTEL IS PURPOSELY NUKING YOUR SYSTEMS.

THIS PUTS A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON INTEL.

I WAS PLANNING TO BUY THEIR NEW SKYLAKE PROCESSOR...

THOUGH THEIR HASWELL HAD A TRANSACTIONAL MEMORY BUG.

THIS LATEST RELEVATION/CONCLUSION SHEDS NEW LIGHT ON THIS POTENTIAL EVIL
FROM INTEL.

I can only advice researchers, academics, hackers, press... to investigate
this matter further.

IF THIS IS TRUE THEN THIS IS A GIGANTIC SCHANDAL OF IMAGINABLE PROPORTIONS
AND NEEDS A SEVERE COUNTER REACTION.

IF THIS IS TRUE I CAN RECOMMEND A BOYCOTT OF INTEL PROCESSORS AND MICROSOFT
SOFTWARE AND SWITCH TO OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE where these kind of trust issues
and bugs can be more easily spotted and fixed and hopefully AVOIDED.

Basically I DEMAND A FULL INVESTIGATION from the goverments INTO PATCH
2670838.

GOODBYE,
FAILURE TO DO SO PUTS YOUR SYSTEMS AT RISK !

Bye,
Skybuck.
