Comments on: Microsoft inadvertently leaks WMF patch

Company, under fire over timing of fix for a serious Windows flaw, pulls early version of patch off the Web.

Hmmm, fishy!

Is it just a coincedence that Microsoft's patch is leaked as people started using 3rd party patch?

I wonder!

It was an accident.

And nobody can prove otherwise.

Nice going, MS

This premature fix would probably open the door for other flaws to be exploited, which would require another patch for a patch.

Annoying

Is anyone else annoyed by the thought that millions of home Windows users could be exposed to risk at least in part because corporate customers don't like out-of-cycle updates?

The whole logic behind that process seems idiotic to me. Here's a thought: If you only want to install patches once a month, then do so. If a patch comes out during the timeframe when you have "other things" going on, then IGNORE IT until your schedule dictates that it should be installed.

But why whine, and make millions of users wait?

How about....

How about you don't believe everything you read. Notice that the alleged "reason" comes from an outside company and not Microsoft. Microsoft,through their security bulletins, have clearly stated why they are waiting to release the patch.
