Looks like Patch Tuesday turned into BSOD Tuesday for some Windows XP users -- Microsoft's latest security updates for the venerable OS are causing blue screens and endless reboots for people. That's the word according to a growing support thread on Microsoft's site -- and making matters just slightly worse / funnier, it's apparently the patch for that
17-year-old DOS vulnerability that's causing all the trouble. You win some, you lose some, right? Microsoft's identified a fix for those with access to an XP install disc and an optical drive, but that leaves most netbook users out in the cold -- and considering netbooks are where most of the recent XP action's been going down lately, we're hoping a better solution comes down the pike soon.
P.S.- That's the
BSOD tattoo guy in the photo -- remember him?

Hehe, you've got to laugh, after 17 years Microsucks is still trying to iron out bugs and when they finally address an teenage issue, it makes things worse.......they usually impose those joy's on us with a new O/S or major Service Pack Update....Hey Ho.
