Microsoft is going to anger a lot of people if they indeed do this!

[QUOTE="mlnevese, post: 1082423, member: 36157"] Anything that is patching a specific memory offset risks doing something wrong if whatever it is patching has been updated. A single byte difference may do something that will break Windows or some other software. It may also make delta updating fail or cause a delta update to undo the patch to whatever system component was patched and then in the next boot you get a crash if the software doing the patch does not detect this and reapply the patch or reapply the patch in what is now the wrong place. I'm as happy as anyone else to blame Microsoft for Windows and other of their product's bad decisions or bad implementation of something but in this case, they are innocent and do the right thing disabling an update until the conflicting software is removed. Better than answering hundreds of calls about software failures not caused by them. [/QUOTE]
