Microsoft Patches Anger Some Users

eWeek has a story up on the anger Microsoft has caused from some users with their latest security patches:

Microsoft Corp. customers are growing frustrated by a series of actions the company has taken that they say call into question its efforts to improve security.

Much of the ill will surrounds the recent release of a cumulative patch for Internet Explorer, which also contains a fix for a newly discovered critical vulnerability. Some users contacted by eWeek last week said that when they installed the patch on machines running Windows 98 and IE 5.5, the PCs failed to reboot and instead returned a "scandisk" error message. When the users tried to bring the machine up in safe mode, it froze, preventing further action.
