How about when Micro$oft releases a bundled patch (cough cough MS04-011) to
fix several bugs and security holes (supposedly to help "minimize loss" from
these bugs and worms) only to find out that the patch itself has broken just
as many services as it fixed, taking down one's server for a few hours,
causing yet... more loss!  ;-)

Grrrr - that little pressie from M$ cost us a whole morning...
