So I'm a hardware guy. I don't really care what OS I'm running as long as I can mess with the guts of the machine. It's the main reason why I hate laptops, because I can't futz with them.
Anywho, here's one of the main frustrations I have with Microsoft software. Seemingly unconnected fixes create all new problems.
If you use animated cursors (to me the desktop equivalent of annoying ringtones "look my mouse pointer is a puppy! OH LOOK HE'S DIGGING!"), then you might've heard of the vulnerability,which can allow a hacker to take over a system, which is pretty severe for a cursor. How are the two even related?
Well apparently MS's patch for the problem breaks a computer's ability to use Realtek Audio hardware (a very common audio chipset, even on my motherboard but I use an Audigy2 and a FW410). How are the two even related?
ITWire has the rest of the story here.
Poor stupid Microsoft...
