Firstly .... i don't do "bashing" ... that is for people who wish to
waste time.

My life revolves around supporting MS Products, and dealing the fallout
from idiots who create havoc by writing viruses and malware.

I actually *like* and *enjoy* using a lot of MS products, so please,
don't even suggest i would waste my time "bashing" such a monolithic
organisation. To what end would it achieve?

Microsoft need to attend to a little more detail to maintaining
*current* information, and not recommending 2 year old products via a
link that has been placed on my machine by a *new* service pack.

And yes, we all make mistakes, i acknowledge that. So what do we do?
Ignore them, or learn from them?
