And MS needs to get their validation crap fixed, or better yet, dump it.
It shouldn't be up to computer owners to muck around with work-arounds
fixing what ain't broke, and their OS, and the way it was installed
ain't what is broke. MS's validation crap is what needs to be made
reliable, or if it can't be, then it needs to have a quick painful
death!

Until MS fixes or dumps validation, there are much less risky ways to
stay patched.
