Microsoft itself has now come up with an update that does this, too--kills
the ability to receive further updates. As I mentioned in the posting that
started this thread.

  Sigh! It's *not* "an update [which] kills the ability to receive
further updates". It's a corner case, for a very limited timeframe and
for uncommon scenarios. But realizing that, would require that you
actually *read* - for comprehension - what you're referring to.

  I already put this in perspective [1]. Repeating what's mostly FUD,
doesn't make it any less FUD.

  Anyway, it's a ('technical') 'news' story. What do you expect? Stories
about all the systems which do *not* have - these or other - problems?
