It just sounded very negative. Understandable, I suppose. Having said that, I certainly wouldn't wait for another 7 days to at least put into place a temporary patch, but that's just me. :-)
Neither would I. Although, as much as I trust the fix I doubt most administrators could get away with that on their networks as it's hopefully within their policies that any fixes are both vendor and in-house tested before widespread installation. Similarly if you suddenly had problems with an ISVs software after installing a 3rd party patch to Windows, I doubt they'd be willing to support you with it. On my own machine I might apply a 3rd party patch, providing I have the source code of course. On a large production network I'd need vendor approval and support before I'd go near it. -- With Regards..
