Well, once again, we have the dumbing down of features in a product...features which are vulnerable to attack. Sure, we could all use brain-dead browsers, but then we lose support for even more features. This is all just a part of life on the net.
As to the guy who patched and was surprised at the bug, I would suggest that you hire experienced engineers who test patches first....and control their release with products such as SUS. Gee, central patch management, that's a thought!
