Story: Firms urged to use unauthorised Windows patch
Posted by: Anonymous (Wednesday 4 January 2006, 1:23 AM)
Un-official patches can be considered helpfull. But for some reason-or-another I did not find any reference to the source-code, of the patch, only an "click this executable (which will install onto your computer), and you will be safe" promiss.
In what way is this un-disclosed patch beter that any closed-source "solution" MS can deliver ?
In other words : closed-source is "bad", but we should trust a closed-source patch from an un-known source ?
Maybe I'm just paranoid, but there is *NO WAY* that I'm going to install that on the computer I'm working on.
